Not sure if there are any other title winners yet. Whoever wins the next match between Bayern and Dortmund will likely take the Bundesliga. I think all the other major leagues are still duking it out. Will be interesting to see if Madrid manages to stay on top of Barça, though.

Very excited for the 17th. I see Bayern taking the first match at home (I'd predict a 2-1 or 3-2 score for Bayern), they don't often lose there. Just a matter of dominating in Madrid.

Manchester United are very close to wrapping up the English title after today's results. They won, whilst their nearest challengers, Manchester City, lost. This means United are now eight points clear and have an easier run-in.

Bayern and Dortmund currently playing. 0-0 still at the half, but it's been an exciting game. Kroos has had some good opportunities and Neuer is in fine form...but the Dortmund strike off the crossbar nearly gave me a heart attack.

Yep, 2-1 for die Bayern! Suspenseful and entertaining game for sure! Now onward to play Madrid at home! All we need is a tie, damnit! Dortmund will more than likely take the Bundesliga at this point, but if we get the Champions League, it'll have been well worth it.

Given the profile, and financial awards, the Champions League has eclipsed all domestic leagues in terms of importance. Chelsea versus Barcelona in the other semi with Chelsea now in good form after a poor season. They defeated fellow London side Tottenham 5-1 in the English domestic cup semi-final on Sunday.

Newcastle vs Man City is on now, and it's a great game. Newcastle needs to win today, and Chelsea to lose to Bayern then hopefully they can play Champions League.

Man City did really well in the end .... an excellent second half performance with Toure outstanding. If City win against QPR next week, they'll win the league for the first time in 44 years.

Incredible comeback after being 8 points behind local rivals Man Utd just 5 weeks ago and all seemed lost.

Chelsea won the FA Cup Final (the domestic English cup competition) on Saturday with a 2-1 win over Liverpool. It, too, was a great game of football to watch. Chelsea were 2-0 up and in cruise control until a late Liverpool fightback made a real game of it.

Some of the recent football I've seen has made me look forward all the more to the forthcoming Euro 2012 Championships.
