Focusing on the European League Women’s Champions League semifinals with all heart, fans forget about another busy weekend in Europe’s largest domestic league, but fans may be forgiven, but a lot of things have happened.
First, Barcelona, who looked miserable at Stamford Bridge, made an unforgettable comeback at Arsenal, booked their spot in the finals for an 8-2 overall victory.
Meanwhile, Crystal Palace’s relegation was confirmed by a mean West Ham United team, who won hopes of European football at Leicester City with a 1-0 victory one Sunday.
In Frauen-Bundesliga, Bayern Munich won two consecutive championships after losing 3-0 to SGS Essen at Leipzig. In Italy, Fiorentina shocked newly crowned champion Juventus with a 3-1 victory, with Milan Blue defeating Milan Blue 4-1 Madonnina Derby Triumph and Lazio hit Como's four unresolved goals.
Ultimately, in Spain, it was another crazy weekend trying to avoid the drop of sleepy people at the foot of the Liga F table. However, with three more games left to play, there are still plenty of opportunities for the drama as Real Madrid (Real Madrid CFF 7-3) will realize that they continue to wear Barcelona heels.
The Gunners have reached the mainland finals for the first time in 18 years. They canceled a 2-1 first leg deficit with a 4-1 victory over eight-time champion Lyon, and won a ticket to Lisbon in the final, which they have not entered the game since the 2006-07 victory, when the game was still known as the UEFA Women's Cup. They also became the first British team to reach the final since 2021, when Chelsea beat Gothenburg's Barcelona 4-0, a painful memory of Blues repeated at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.
Meanwhile, Chelsea endured a humiliating exit. Although they lost to Barcelona in the semifinals (two times a total of 1-0), they once again beat the dominant champion 8-2 with a total of 4-1.
The purpose of this season is to win a new era under UWCL coach Sonia Bompastor in 2021-22, whose mission is to achieve success on the continent during her 12-year domination. Chelsea are closer than ever before in the run-to-back semi-finals, but after suffering a six-goal deficit, they now seem to be farther away from European glory than ever before. - I
Back in October, Bayern headed to Wolfsburg and had already said that the victory at the Volkswagen Arena would be equivalent to the third consecutive championship. That day, it was actually the host's victory. In the second month, the Bavarians were in Freiburg, Freiburg, and in five days at their home in Eintracht Frankfurt. For some time, there seemed to be a four-way sprint finish line, but a challenger fell.
From Wolfsburg to Bayer Leverkusen, to Frankfurt to Frankfurt, suffered two critical losses winter vacationonly one team stayed and refused to drop the order after a pair of draws in November.
The Bavarians this season aren't always perfect or pretty, but Bayern's quality is sparkling every time they go on home run Klara Bühl and Danish superstar Pernille Harder (they can now get stuck throughout the year and knocking years.
Although head coach Alexander Straus has announced his departure from the NWSL's Angel City by the end of the season, his tenure in Germany marks a full-scale change in the Guards as Munich consolidates their place at the treetops. - SL
Crystal Palace's debut season in the top flight was heartbroken as their 7-1 defeat to West Ham confirmed their relegation. As they cannot escape the fall, they will return to the second floor to participate in the 2025-26 campaign.
The Palace struggled throughout the season, scoring nine points from two wins and three draws. Aston Villa won a vibrant victory in No. 11, which gave people hope and thus narrowed the safety gap. However, a series of failures, coupled with Villa's key victory, widened to 7 points. With only two games left, the Eagles finally used up their time for a late revival.
This story has become too familiar to the newly promoted team. Just like last season Bristol City, Crystal Palace was immediately relegated. The gap between WSL and the champion is larger than ever, suggesting that the yo-yo pattern between partitions is unlikely to end anytime soon. - I

Arsenal reaches UWCL's first final in 19 years
Arsenal defeated Lyon 5-3 overall, making it the first time in 19 years to reach the UEFA Women's Champions League final.
eight. The return lioness brings more reasons to smile to the city. Sunday afternoon didn’t mark the first time that Leicester City has made Manchester City uncomfortable recently, but, as before, Sky Blue found a way due to Jess Park’s late winner. The three-pointers were enough to keep the faint 3-pointers of Manchester City's top three on the slightest frontline, but the visitors' moment was England duo Lauren Hemp and Alex Greenwood, who have been in a state since last year.
seven. Inter Milan ultimately demanded Derby honors. Even if Elisa Poli spins in AC Milan Box, ready to send the ball to the bottom corner and restore international inter's lead, there's a problem nerazzurri After three frustrating draws this season, I was finally able to maintain my edge in the Milan Derby. But instead of exploding, Vismara visitors have strengthened their own advantage, adding a late goal through Tessa Wullaert to beat their city rivals. But besides the win, Inter confirmed the second place - their highest record ever in Serie A - and a European spot next season.
six. Spain's relegation competition heats up. With three remaining games left and both teams will enter the second level, but Valencia's 2-0 victory won Real Sociedad, and their hopes of survival remain alive, despite still being routed to the table floor. Betis is still hanging in the drop zone, but within a safe distance, Betis will drop two points after Natalia Padilla-Bidas canceled Rosa Márquez's opener, especially Tenerife and Barcelona. Likewise, both Levante and Espanyol have improved with their respective draws against Atleti and Eibar, but have not been at home and dry yet.
five. The Florence roller coaster cycles again. The Italian champions ended last weekend - their first Scudetto in three years - Juventus is likely to expect to continue to attend the party in Fiorentina on Friday, but quickly met a Fiorentina team who once again found the touch of their goal-scoring and a more powerful range. Viola is one of Italy's most unstable teams this season, potentially shattering odds and finding itself above Rome as the third and final Champions League status of Serie A, but like this year, the Fiorentina team that appears is as predictable as coin tossing.
Four. Leipzig is unable to fly again. Still only 9 years old, just in Frauen-Bundesliga's second season, it can be said that this is too much Red Bull To be a consistent mid-spot team, but after Leipzig lost 3-0 to Essen on Saturday, RB now finds that he hasn't won five games and won't even bother SGS' backup goalkeeper Kim Sindermann on weekends. Unlike Essen, Esen is one of the last independent teams of the FBL – RB is able to spend a lot of time in the summer to further strengthen their roster, even with Peters this season, providing more learning experience.
three. Le Bihan for Biancocelesti. Both teams traded paint throughout the season, with Como and Lazio having convincing performances this season - the first of their current iterations - and also playing exciting games as they both adapted to Italy's top flights. Lazio became famous in the final session of the campaign, thanks in large part to Clarisse Le Bihan’s hat-trick, which scored a 4-0 victory for visitors. Although it's still early, both include both in Serie A and it looks like it will only add more confusion.
two. Goalkeeper on vacation in Madrid. Filippa Angeldahl has no doubt from Belter at 25 yards, Real Madrid 7-3 against Madrid CFF. All White' Goals including the braces of Angeldahl and Alba Redondo, the downtime strike by Linda Caicedo and Caroline Weir's ninth season, visitors managed to score three points, arguably, with Real Madrid's tough defense at least throughout the exhibition.
one. Seagulls finished high. As Brighton fans have tilted rapidly this season, Dario Vidosicteam rarely plays football, even if the consistency so far is not the Seagulls (they have to compete with quite a few of their injuries this season), there is no excitement. Brighton was again at the box office on Sunday afternoon, starting from the latter two times, stealing all three points in the downtime with Nikita Parris’ low-speed drive. Although it was a team effort by Walton Hall Park visitors, Parris continued to show her value as an experienced leader on the team, combining maturity with youthful thrills. - - SL
