Serie A 2024-25 might witness one of the greatest showdowns in the title charge in the league's history, as league leaders Inter Milan dropped points in a 2-2 draw against Parma last night.

Defending champions Inter Milan are currently topping the table with 68 points across 31 games, having played one game more than second-placed Napoli, who have accumulated 64 points in 30 games.

The pressure to finish in the top four have also intensified in Italy.

Paris Saint-Germain have claimed the 2024-25 Ligue 1 title after beating Angers 1-0 last night, ensuring their fourth successive title with 74 points in 28 games. The Luis Enrique-managed side have been crowned champions with six matches remaining and are now 24 points ahead of the second-placed AS Monaco (50 points in 28 matches). 

PSG have clinched another milestone, winning the league title without losing a single game so far, and with six matches remaining, they will look to embrace the 'invincible' tag by ending the season without a single defeat.

If Les Parisiens complete an unbeaten league season, they will join a special group of clubs from Europe's top five leagues that have achieved this feat. This group includes Bayer Leverkusen in 2024, Juventus in 2012, Arsenal in 2004, AC Milan in 1992, Perugia in 1979, and Preston North End in 1889.

However, the race to qualify for next season's UCL will go down to the wire between six teams who are differentiated by only four points – AS Monaco (50), Olympique de Marseille (49), Olympique Lyonnais (48), OGC Nice (47), Lille OSC (47), and RC Strasbourg (46).

Full-time | Real Madrid 1-2 Valencia

Valencia have pulled off a shocking but deserving 2-1 win against Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu!

It all started with a crazy first half, which started off with Mamardashvili denying Vinicius from the penalty spot in the 13th minute of the game. Right after the mishap, Mouctar Diakhaby headed it into the net for Valencia to put Valencia ahead. Despite a lot of chances, Real Madrid failed to net a goal in the first half. 

Los Blancos salvaged the equalizer only five minutes into the second half as Vinicius Jr flicked it home to level the score. However, a resilient Valencia defence led by Cesar Tarrega and custodian Giorgi Mamardashvili became the only difference between Madrid and a second goal. Kylian Mbappe failed to bag a goal despite many opportunities, whereas Valencia also failed to score in the regulation time.

However, Hugo Duro quieted the Bernabeu crowd with a striking header in the fifth minute of the stoppage time to snatch away all three points, securing a famous away win. Valencia have boasted their league position to avoid relegation, but Real Madrid have lost an important game in the road of their title chase.

Final Score

Apr 2, 2025, 9:51 PM

Final verdict!

So it will be another El Classico in the Copa Del Rey final in Sevilla. Barcelona were the better team and attacked more in the first half, resulting in a goal from Ferran Torres. They could have scored more if they had latched onto the chances created mainly by Lamine Yamal. 

But atletico Madrid brought in three changes at the start of the second half, which made them attack more frequently and freely. 

However, despite a few chances, they were not able to score. Jules Kounde was excellent for Barcelona, making multiple blocks in the final 15 mins of the game. 

This means that Barcelona will meet Real Madrid in the Copa del Dey final and will be another step closer to their target of a treble.

Atletico Madrid's season is on the verge of collapsing after watching their Champions League dreams shattered after losing to city rivals Real Madrid on penalties in the RO16, and their La Liga title ambitions suffering a blow with only one win out of four in March.

They failed to keep up a two-goal advantage to lose 4-2 in their home league match against league-leaders Barcelona, before they came back from the international break with a 1-1 draw against Espanyol in an away match. Consequently, the Copa del Rey is Atletico's best hope to lift a trophy this season as they will be seeking to win the tournament for the first time since 2012-13.

However, head coach Diego Simeone must look for the best combination before fielding his eleven tonight. Veteran midfielder Koke is set to miss this game, whereas Robin Le Normand is doubtful. Forward Angel Correa will serve the third of a five-match ban. 

The semi-final tie with Barcelona is perfectly balanced after Atletico scored two late goals to earn a 4-4 draw in last month's away leg, though the Rojiblancos may find themselves tensed by the fact that they have not advanced beyond their previous three Copa del Rey semi-final ties.

Unlike their hosts, FC Barcelona are still in the race to win three more titles alongside the Spanish Super Cup, won in January. The Blaugranas have registered a 20-game unbeaten streak in all competitions (W17, D3) since losing 2-1 to Atletico Madrid in December's league match at home.

They are sitting atop the La Liga table with 66 points in 29 games, are in the Champions League quarter-finals, and are on the verge of qualifying for a first Copa del Rey final since clinching it in 2020-21.

Interestingly, The Catalan side have defeated each of their last three away games against Atletico since losing 2-0 to them in a La Liga encounter in October 2021.

Barcelona gaffer Hansi Flick announced Raphinha and Cubarsi's return to the team. On the other hand, Marc Andre Ter Stegen returned to training but will not be available. Marc Casado suffered an unfortunate injury, while Marc Bernal and Andreas Christensen are recovering from long-term injuries.

Barcelona will gain confidence from the fact that they have advanced from eight of their last nine Copa del Rey semi-final encounters. They have also staged a stunning 4-2 comeback victory in LaLiga against Atletico at Metroplitano in early March.
