ATLÉTICO
- 3rd in the Liga: Eight points adrift of Barcelona, ten behind leaders Real Madrid.
- Copa del Rey: Suffered a 3-2 aggregate defeat by Barcelona in the semi-finals.
Verdict: Not possible
BARCELONA
- 2nd in the Liga: Two points adrift of Madrid; El Clásico – in the Spanish capital on 23 April – looms large.
- Copa del Rey: Into the final, where they meet Alavés on 27 May. Aiming to lift the trophy for a third successive season.
Verdict: It’s on! Could Luis Enrique really sign off in style?
BAYERN
- 1st in the Bundesliga: Ten points clear of Leipzig and seemingly unstoppable despite recent loss at Hoffenheim.
- German Cup: Facing Dortmund in the semis, with Mönchengladbach or Frankfurt to come in the final.
Verdict: It’s on! Can Carlo Ancelotti emulate the Class of 2013 at his first attempt?
DORTMUND
- 4th in Bundesliga: Trail Bayern by 15 points; a UEFA Champions League place is a more realistic goal than the title.
- German Cup: Again, it’s Bayern who stand in their way.
Verdict: Technically possible, but a miracle is required.
JUVENTUS
- 1st in Serie A: Leading the way once more, with a six-point cushion over Roma.
- Coppa Italia: A final meeting with Lazio awaits.
Verdict: It’s on! More advanced than anyone else in their attempt at a treble.
LEICESTER
- 11th in the Premier League: Won five in a row, but the title defence is over.
- FA Cup: Lost to third-tier Millwall in the fifth round.
Verdict: Not possible
MONACO
- 1st in Ligue 1: Still just about keeping Paris at arm’s length; is that three-point cushion enough?
- Coupe de France: Paris lie between them and a final against Angers or Guingamp.
Verdict: It’s on! Paris are going to have a big say, though.
REAL MADRID
- 1st in the Liga: Just. Two words: El Clásico.
- Copa del Rey: Went out at the hands of Celta Vigo in the quarters.
Verdict: Not possible
