Too little, too late: Vini delays Barca’s celebration, but Madrid’s title ship has already sailed

It’s hard to say whether Real Madrid have woken up after a series of poor results, which, among other things, contributed to the current La Liga standings.

Now, it’s only a delay of Barcelona’s celebration.Los Blancos beat the Catalan side 2-0 thanks to Vinicius Jr’s second-half brace, and again did not shine. Alvaro Arbeloa’s men threw the entire first period out the window, and only thanks to the Brazilian’s two moments of inspiration in the 55th and 66th minutes, they brushed aside the rivals and avoided handing the trophy to Barca.It’s almost title time at Camp Nou: Barca beat Osasuna for 10th win in a rowIf Barça avoids a loss next weekend, we’ll see a title celebration during a Clásico for just the second time in La Liga’s history, with the first instance happening in 1932.

It’s over: Inter are Serie A champions!

In the last six years, one team has clearly dominated Serie A – Inter Milan. Nerazzurri were the most consistent team in recent seasons and only once did they allowed themselves to lose the title due to their own mistakes (season 2021/22). But never again did they made that mistake and whenever they were in their recognizable form, nobody could match them.

Nerazzurri are led by the best football executive in Italy, Giuseppe Marotta, who always finds a way to win, either with smart transfers, or with a surprise coach hire like Cristian Chivu.C’EST DE LA FOLIE AU MEAZZA ⚫️🔵 pic.twitter.com/fGeK0EPeEl— Inter FR (@InterMilanFRA) May 3, 2026 That is why Inter had no pressure in front of their fans as they needed only a point and they got all three: Inter – Parm..
