Sporting Clube de Portugal continued to home in on the Portuguese Primeira Liga title with a 4-0 victory at Gil Vicente. Sporting were four-up by half-time, with goals from Francisco Trincão (2), Ousmane Diomande and an own goal. Sporting coach Ruben Amorim, who has been courted by Liverpool, has suddenly distanced himself from talk about him moving in the summer. Sporting’s success has also made some of their players sought-after transfer targets, such as Marcus Edwards, Goncalo Inacio and Viktor Gyokeres. They are four points clear of second-placed Benfica, who won 3-0 against Moreirense.
Red Bull Salzburg received a reminder that the Austrian Bundesliga title race is far from over after losing 3-1 against LASK of Linz.

Since losing in Linz, Red Bull Salzburg have replaced their coach Gerhard Struber with Onur Cinel.
The Scottish Premiership is about to begin its final stage with the top six playing each other to decide the destination of the title. Rangers have just one game remaining from the first phase, away at Dundee. The Ibrox side were beaten 3-2 at Ross County after going ahead.

Bayer Leverkusen clinched their first ever Bundesliga title with a 5-0 victory against Werder Bremen. Florian Wirtz, their talented midfielder, netted a hat-trick.
