Note:
The
purpose of this section is to summarize the week in question, it is not meant
to give a full statistical analysis of the matches.
We
live in a viral age and all that information can be accessed.
I
welcome all contributions from anyone, even for the Leagues that I did not
cover.
I. England
The
week started with Liverpool’s Champions League match vs. AS Roma. Liverpool
qualified to the Final for the first time since 2007, however, it got closer
than expected and Liverpool’s continuous defensive frailties were exposed.
Stoke
City were relegated after a decade in the Premier League.
The
week ended with Chelsea getting in the fight for CL places with a win over
Liverpool (1-0). Arsene Wenger also made his farewell at Emirates Stadium in a
win (5-0) over Burnley.
But
the biggest news that overshadowed all was off the field, as Sir Alex Ferguson
had to undergo an emergency operation for a brain hemorrhage.
The
football world was united in offering support for the veteran Manager.

II. Italy
Roma
fought bravely but were unable to overcome the (2-5) deficit vs. Liverpool in
the CL Semifinal.
Two
weeks ago it appeared that Napoli had the momentum to overtake a demoralized
Juventus in the title run-in.
However,
Napoli did not build on that momentum and Juventus’ two victories coupled with
Napoli’s loss at Fiorentina, the previous week and a home tie with Torino (2-2)
on Sunday virtually handed the title to Juventus for a seventh consecutive
season.
Juventus
now needs a single point to clinch the title officially.
On
the Managerial front, it appears that Roberto Mancini is about to be unveiled
as the National Team Manager in the coming weeks.

III. Spain
The
Week started with both Madrid clubs qualifying for European Cup finals. Real
Madrid struggled at home but qualified for its third straight CL Final.
Atletico
Madrid defeated Arsenal (1-0) to qualify for the Europa League Final.
The
only talk during the rest of the week was of the ‘El Clasico’. The interest
seemed overblown, as this was the most inconsequential Barcelona-Real Madrid
match in years. However, the match itself was a different matter as all the
tensions came to the fore and was as expected a fiery match ridden with fouls,
drama and one sending off.
Cristiano
Ronaldo was slightly injured and pulled off, as Zidane did not want to risk him
before the CL final.
Barcelona
march on hoping to finish the season undefeated.

IV. Germany
Bayern
Munich failed in its attempt to eliminate Real Madrid in the CL, but they
fought bravely and were probably the better side.
Bayern
goalkeeper Sven Ulreich made a huge blunder that gifted a goal to Real.
As
far as the Bundesliga, it was another week another Bayern victory.
However,
the headlines in their win over Koln (3-1) centered on Lewandowski’s anger at
being substituted. This fueled the fire for an impending transfer out.

V. France
The
main interest in France centered on OM’s quest to reach the Europa League Final
and all the nostalgia surrounding OM’s past in European Cups. They did so in
dramatic fashion when Rolando scored in overtime against Salzburg.
The
Final of the Europa League will be held in Lyon and this has further
exasperated the tensions between Lyon and Marseille.
The
National Team received bad news when on the same day that OM qualified for the
Europa League Final, Arsenal’s French defender Laurent Koscielny suffered a bad
injury in the Europa encounter vs. Atletico Madrid that ended his World Cup
dreams.
