A number of teams have taken firm control of their leagues and would be hoping to wrap up their domestic title when they return to club activities next month.
In view of this, Check out Europe’s top five league leaders heading into the International break;
1. Arsenal (Premier League)
Following a disappointing elimination from the Europa League, the Red contingent of North London have now only the Premier league to fight for.
The Gunners got back to winning ways against Crystal Palace at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday courtesy of a 4-1 victory. Having amassed 69 points so far, they temporarily lead the Premier league log by 8 points with 10 games to go.
2. Barcelona (La Liga)
The Catalans came from behind to secure a 2-1 win over arch rival Real Madrid at the Camp Nou Stadium on Sunday night. The victory saw Barcelona open a 12 point lead at the top of the table with 12 games to go. It would take a complete capitulation for them not to win the League with this kind of advantage.
3. Napoli (Serie A)
Gli Azurri are gunning for their first Serie A title in 33 years and currently lead the log with 19 points heading into the International break. The title is theirs to lose and there’s simply no stopping them now.
4. Paris Saint Germain (Ligue 1)
Despite a 2-0 defeat on Sunday, PSG still have a major lead (seven points) at the top of Ligue 1. Barring their recent blip, it’s unlikely the French giants would let the title slip away from them.
5. Borrusia Dortmund (Bundesliga)
Borrusia Dortmund are in command of the Bundesliga after Bayern Munich lost to Bayer Leverkusen on Sunday.
