Man City keep Premier League title in reach, Liverpool win FA Cup, Lewandowski wants out of Bayern
Another weekend in European soccer yielded another flurry of talking points! In England, Manchester City clawed back at West Ham to remain in charge of the Premier League title race with one weekend remaining,
while Liverpool looked tired in the FA Cup final but still had enough juice to defeat Chelsea on penalties. The German Bundesliga season ended with Erling Haaland's farewell to Borussia Dortmund and Robert Lewandowski saying he wants out of Bayern Munich. In Italy, AC Milan and Inter Milan both won to keep the Serie A title battle alive heading into the final round of games, while Spain's LaLiga (and PSG in France) enjoyed a fairly relaxed weekend.

Man City stumble, Mahrez misses penalty as draw at West Ham means title will be decided on final weekend
At half-time in East London, Manchester City were 2-0 down against West Ham and staring down the barrel of a 93:20 situation. If they didn't turn it around and if Liverpool got a big win away to Southampton on Tuesday, then it could (hell, likely would) come down to a Premier League title assigned on goal difference. And at that moment, City were at +5 over Liverpool. But factor in the hypothetical big win at Southampton and, yeah, it could be really darn close on Matchday 38, when Liverpool and City would welcome Wolves and Aston Villa respectively.
