The Premier League was practically resolved at the beginning of this year, the Bundesliga seems to be over this weekend, the Ligue 1 championship trophy has already been awarded, so of the biggest European championships, only Serie A and La Liga are still uncertain when it comes to the championship race...
And the real drama, one that could be remembered, is expected in Italy, where Inter and Napoli are tied at the top with just five rounds left.
It's hard to guess who is closer to the Scudetto, and it could all end in a so-called playoff match, which hasn't been seen in the Apennines for decades.
Extra match for the Scudetto
If it happens that the teams Simone Inzaghi i Antonio Conte If they end up with the same number of points, something will happen that hasn't happened since 1964.
Serie A introduced a rule last season whereby teams tied on points would play an extra match to decide the winner. In that case, neither head-to-head record nor goal difference would determine the new champion, and that one decisive match would be played at the home ground of the team with the better goal difference.
At the moment, Inter has a better goal-to-goal ratio - 71:32 compared to 52:25. Italian media are writing that there is even a possibility that the league leaders will opt for a neutral venue, but that this is less likely.
If this match does eventually happen, Inter will be part of it again, as they played a Scudetto match with Bologna six decades ago and lost it at the Olimpico. Symbolically, the club from the Dall'Area also complicated the lives of the Nerazzurri last weekend, as they Richard Orsolini A 94th-minute goal brought victory to Bologna and allowed Napoli to catch up with Inter.
Inter has a stronger team, Napoli has an easier schedule and Conte
"Gazzetta dello Sport" listed six factors that could decide the championship race, so Inter's strengths are a strong team, team unity and experience, while Napoli's assets are an easier schedule, energy and Conte, who won titles as coach of Juventus, Chelsea and Inter.
When it comes to the schedule, all Napoli has to do until the end of the season is play five Serie A matches, while Inter are looking forward to the semi-finals of the Champions League and the Coppa Italia, and maybe even the final...
The rivals of the team with "Maradona" will be Torino, Genoa and Cagliari at home, and Lecce and Parma away, while Inter will face Roma, Verona and Lazio in Milan, as well as duels with Torino and Como away.
Can it be brewed in Spain?
Of the other championships, La Liga could be the most exciting, with Barcelona four points ahead of their biggest rival Real Madrid with six rounds remaining.
Barca is, by all accounts, closer to the title this season, but even in Catalonia they know very well that the "royal club" never gives up.
This was also shown in the last round when the team Carlo Ancelotti achieved the triumph in the 93rd minute with a goal Fedeo Valverde. In addition, the question of whether Hansi Flick more power to count on the injured person Robert Levandovski.
Unlike Italy, in Spain there will be a direct duel between two title contenders, as “el clasico” will be played on May 11th at “Montjuic”. The same rivals will also meet in the final of the King's Cup, and Barça will also face duels in the Champions League.
The "blaugrana"'s rivals in La Liga until the end will also be Mallorca (D), Valladolid (G), Espanyol (D), Villarreal (D) and Athletic Bilbao (G), while the "blancos" will be Getafe (G), Celta (D), Mallorca (D), Sevilla (G) and Sociedad (G).
