(Don't stress too much, Madrid fans: Barcelona drew with Real Betis this weekend.) Oh, and Liverpool's slow crawl to the Premier League title continued with a 3-2 loss at Fulham and Paris Saint-Germain confirmed their Ligue 1 crown with victory over Angers.

Elsewhere, we have talking points galore around Arsenal, Borussia Dortmund, Tottenham, Inter Milan, Bayer Leverkusen, Chelsea and more.

It's not as if Real Madrid necessarily looked past them, focusing instead on the Champions League clash with Arsenal on Tuesday -- rather, it's more a case of everything that could go wrong going wrong in this game.

Vinícius missed an early penalty, Real Madrid carved out a host of chances -- their expected goals was 3.47 -- and Valencia keeper Giorgi Mamardashvili had one of those days that he'll tell his grandchildren about.

It's not a coincidence that of the Champions League quarterfinalists, Arsenal, Inter and Barcelona all dropped points too.

Preserving the likes of Jurriën Timber, Martin Odegaard, Bukayo Saka and others with a huge Champions League clash against Real Madrid coming up was more important.

First off, if this is the team he had in mind, there's no reason to deviate: after all, it's not as if it would have been OK for Barca to drop points had Real Madrid won.

Some cynics might say he should have jumped for the Real Madrid or Liverpool jobs a year ago when he had the chance, but I think that's nonsense: he's a young coach and this turbulent campaign will likely make him better if he learns what went wrong (and, no, it's not just the injury to Florian Wirtz).
