In the 2023/24 season, Paris Saint-Germain won the Ligue 1 title ahead of schedule after the weekend schedule, and the other four major leagues each produced one relegated team, namely Darmstadt in the Bundesliga, Salernitana in Serie A, Sheffield United in the Premier League and Almeria in La Liga.
Ligue 1 standings
In this round, Paris Saint-Germain drew with Le Havre at home, and Monaco lost to Lyon away, and Paris Saint-Germain's lead was extended to 12 points, and the championship was locked three rounds ahead of schedule to achieve the third consecutive Ligue 1 title. Paris won the league ahead of schedule, and then can go all out to prepare for the Champions League, and face Dortmund away in the early hours of May 2.
There is still suspense in the battle for four in Ligue 1, but Lens and Marseille have withdrawn from the competition ahead of schedule, and Nice is 4 points behind Lille, and it is very difficult to catch up. The relegation end of Ligue 1 is more complicated, Clermont is still 4 points behind Metz in this round of victory, and it is obviously not enough to want relegation, and the next 3 games need to be won.
Bundesliga standings
Bayer Leverkusen have long been locked up in the league title and are still unbeaten, this team is really tough. Bayern Munich defeated Eintracht Frankfurt in this round to lock up the top four in advance, and now Bayern has nothing to pursue in the league, going all out to attack the Champions League title, and host Real Madrid in the early morning of May 1.
The Bundesliga is likely to compete for five this season, and Stuttgart and RB Leipzig have not locked the top four, but they have long locked the top five. Dortmund also seem to see the situation of the race for five, and the battle for the fourth in this round has reservations. Borussia Dortmund are 12 points ahead of Eintracht Frankfurt and have also secured a top-five finish before preparing for the Champions League.
At the relegation end, Darmstadt are 11 points behind Mainz, and there are only three games left in the Bundesliga, and it is clear that Darmstadt has been relegated three rounds earlier. Cologne is five points behind Mainz and is still struggling to the death, and the probability of relegation is not very high. Mainz is only 2 points away from Bochum and Union Berlin, and there is still hope for direct relegation.
Serie A standings
The Serie A champions were decided in the last round, with Inter Milan reaching the top early. Serie A has confirmed at least five Champions League places this season, with AC Milan currently 13 points ahead of Atalanta, who have played one game less and have a theoretical maximum of 72 points. As a result, AC Milan are yet to lock up a top-five finish. Juventus and Bologna both have certain advantages and have a high probability of stabilizing the top five. Although Roma is 2 points ahead of Atalanta, they are actually passive when they play 1 more game.
Regarding the relegation side of Serie A, Salernitana lost again in this round, already 16 points behind Empoli, and with 4 games left, Salernitana has obviously been relegated early. In addition, Sassuolo are five points behind Empoli and can continue to struggle, but the relegation situation is very passive. Udinese is 2 points behind Empoli, and there is a direct dialogue with Empoli and Frosinone, which shows that Udinese still has a chance of relegation.
La Liga standings
There is still 1 game left in this round of La Liga, and Barcelona hosts Valencia. Real Madrid beat Real Sociedad away in this round to increase their total points to 84 points, extending their lead over Barcelona to 14 points. Barcelona theoretically has a maximum of 78 points, and Real Madrid has beaten its opponents twice this season, so Real Madrid is still 4 points away from locking the league title.
La Liga teams are only in contention for four this season, with Atletico Madrid and Athletic Bilbao battling it out in this round, with Atletico Madrid winning 3-1 to extend their lead to six points and thus establishing a top-four position. Bilbao theoretically has a maximum of 73 points, while Girona currently has 71 points, three points away from securing Champions League qualification. Barcelona, on the other hand, have an advantage over Athletic Bilbao's mutual record, and the next win over Valencia will directly lock up the top four.
Almeria at the relegation end has 14 points, and with 5 rounds remaining, Almeria has a theoretical maximum of 29 points. Based on the current situation in the La Liga standings, it is clear that Almeria has been relegated ahead of schedule. Granada are 10 points behind Celta Vigo and are clearly not far from relegation, as soon as they can be relegated in the next round.
Premier League standings
The competition for the Premier League title is still very fierce, and Liverpool has made consecutive mistakes recently, scoring only 5 points in the last 5 rounds, so that the gap between Arsenal and Manchester City has been opened and basically withdrawn from the championship camp. Now the initiative is in the hands of Manchester City, one point behind Arsenal with one game less. Manchester City have no other fixtures to hold back and have more title hopes.
Regarding the fight for four in the Premier League, Tottenham are currently seven points behind Villa, and Tottenham have played two games less, and the actual gap is not large. However, Tottenham's recent schedule is very devilish, losing at home to Arsenal in this round, followed by Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester City, which shows that Villa is likely to hold on to the top four. Manchester United are 13 points behind Villa and are out of the top four.
Sheffield United Nottingham Forest have 10 points at the relegation end, and with three games remaining, Sheffield United were relegated early. The rest of the competition is fierce, with Nottingham Forest, Luton Town and Burnley separating them from each other very small, with the other two relegation places between the three teams. In addition, Everton has been deducted 8 points by the FA this season, but now the 36 points have been ashore early, and this team is really hard to avoid relegation.
