After weeks of anticipation, the French showdown was postponed due to Covid-19 but the Champions League draw means Lyon and PSG should meet twice more this spring. Most of England had off while Barcelona and Bayern Munich remained perfect. The biggest battle on the weekend was for Champions League spots in Spain.

The Latest: In a stark reminder that the Covid pandemic is still with us, a slew of positive tests in Paris forced the postponement of the most anticipated club match outside England this season. Paris Saint-Germain and Lyon are still searching for a date to reschedule their match in Lyon that is likely to decide the title. PSG also had their Champions League match against Sparta Prague postponed. Should they win — PSG lead the aggregate 5-0 after the first leg — the rivals will meet in the quarterfinals of the Champions League. Bordeaux were unable to strengthen their hold on 3rd place. Evelyne Viens scored in the 71th and 88th minutes to rally Paris FC for a 3-2 victory.

The Latest: With Barcelona all but having sewn up the title the race is on for second and third. Levante were held at home by Real Betis on Saturday allowing Real Madrid to creep within a point after a wild 1-0 win at Atletico Madrid. Real were reduced to 10 players just 12 minutes in when Olga Carmona was shown the door. They scored a woman down, through Sofia Jacobsson in the 67th and finished 10-v.-10 after Deyna Castellanos saw her second yellow card in the 77th. Atletico slipped to 5th a point behind Madrid who defeated Eibar 3-1. Madrid are 5 points adrift of Real with a match in hand.
