2536768, Weekend Soccer 05.06-09: No Fuchs Given
Posted by benny, Fri May-06-16 11:59 AM
With Leicester having won the title in the most climatic anti-climatic way possible, this weekend's EPL games might seem like we are already moving on to the ides of meh. Sure, it'll be cool to see what kind of reception the Foxes get at home, but really catching a 2-min highlight clip will probably tell you all you need to know.
And yes, there is an implications-heavy game between Arsenal and City that could go a long way toward determining which club will underwhelm in next year's Champions League, but considering how both played their last games, it's tough to get into much of a frenzy over it. On the relegation side Newcastle have a must-win at Aston Villa, who could very well play spoiler as so many relegated sides have done in seasons past. Meanwhile Norwich face a big test by hosting United who are still hoping they can catch up to City.

With all the major leagues around Europe having decided on their champions, La Liga is our last chance to witness a title race. Atletico having lost both games against Barca this season means their only hope of a title is if the Catalans falter in the last two games. It's a little tough seeing Espanyol making that happen on Sunday, although the Perequitos did manage a goalless draw earlier this season. Atleti will want to avoid any hangover from their inspiring qualification to the CL final, but against relegated Levante they should be OK.
