Race Continues in France, Italy

The races in Italy and France will go down to the final weekend, as neither Inter Milan nor Lyon could wrap up consecutive titles Sunday.  Inter missed out on a chance to secure the Scudetto for the second straight week, drawing 2-2 at the San Siro against Siena.  Roma's 2-1 win over Atalanta brought them to within a point of Inter with one game to play.  Both teams are away to relegation-threatened sides next week; Inter face Parma, while Roma finish at Catania.  

In France, Lyon defeated Nancy 1-0, but Bordeaux remained two points back of the six-time defending champs with a 2-0 win over Sochaux.  Next week, Lyon are at Auxerre, while Bordeaux visit Lens.

Triumph for Bayern, Real

It wasn't pretty, but Bayern Munich wrapped up the Bundesliga today with a 0-0 draw away to VfL Wolfsburg. It's the 20th Bundlesliga title for the Bavarians and third domestic double in four seasons.

Later in the day, Real Madrid clinched their 31st La Liga title, coming from behind down a man to post a 2-1 win over Osasuna.

Inter Milan hoped to join the celebration Sunday, but fell in the Milan derby 2-1 to AC Milan. Saturday, a goalless draw against Nice kept Lyon from wrapping up a seventh-straight French Ligue 1 title.
