Snapshot/overview of the European football leagues:
Italy got settled between the 4 February showdown where Inter beat Juve, and yesterday's shocker where Juve came away from Udinese with 0 points. Inter will win the scudetto
Spain got settled pretty much last Saturday; Real will win.
Germany is sorrta settled too since last Saturday; there's a chance Munich could come back, but really Leverkusen are almost home dry.
England is still wide open
Portugal's got a pretty good race between Sporting Lisbon and Benfica.
