Chelsea wrapped up the WSL title, while Manchester United’s draw with City earned them a Champions League spot. Paris FC made history by beating PSG to win the French Cup, and London City Lionesses earned promotion. Across Europe, teams like Frankfurt and Atletico Madrid secured vital wins to boost their UWCL chances.

Although most of Europe’s major leagues have wrapped up at both ends of the table, there was still plenty at stake this week. Chelsea had already clinched the Women’s Super League (WSL) title in midweek, so their 1-0 win over Tottenham held little significance, but derby action took centre stage as Manchester United drew 2-2 with City, and Everton once again got the better of Liverpool with a 2-0 win. Aston Villa’s fine form continued with a 3-2 win away to West Ham, Crystal Palace and Leicester played out a 2-2 draw, and London City Lionesses secured promotion to the top flight at the first time of asking since Michele Kang’s takeover.

In Germany, Bayern Munich had already sealed the title, but Eintracht Frankfurt’s 3-1 home victory over Hoffenheim ensured they secured Champions League qualification, while struggling Köln snapped their winless streak away to Werder Bremen.

In Spain’s Liga F, bottom side Valencia secured another win at home to Eibar but remain five points from safety following Levante Badalona’s 2-1 away win at Madrid CFF. Elsewhere, Atletico Madrid edged Athletic Club 1-0 in a pivotal clash that strengthened their grip on the final European place behind Barcelona and Real Madrid.

In Italy, Juventus had long sealed the championship, but Sampdoria were relegated after a 2-1 home defeat to Como. AC Milan, meanwhile, fought back from three goals down to draw 3-3 in a thriller against Roma.

And in France, Paris FC lifted their first trophy in a decade by defeating Paris Saint-Germain on penalties in the Coupe de France final – ending the long-standing dominance of PSG and Lyon in the domestic cup.

Manchester United edge City for UWCL qualification

A dramatic 2-2 draw with rivals Manchester City saw Manchester United secure a Champions League berth, joining Chelsea and Arsenal in Europe next season. After trailing 2-0, United’s spirited comeback delivered the single point they needed to seal third place. In contrast, City will end the season trophyless, despite reaching the UWCL quarter-finals earlier in the campaign. Injuries and the dismissal of Gareth Taylor midseason proved costly, leaving City well adrift of the champions.

For United, who return to Europe after missing out last season, there’s renewed optimism under Marc Skinner, who also has the FA Cup final to look forward to later this month.

Everton complete first league double over Liverpool since 2012

Everton earned bragging rights with a 2-0 win at Anfield, completing a WSL double over Liverpool for the first time in over a decade. Katja Snoeijs and Karen Holmgaard scored in each half, capping off a composed performance on the road – only their second away win of the season. Despite a mid-table finish, the Toffees' derby dominance is a bright spot in a season marred by injuries.

Paris FC win Coupe de France in historic fashion

Paris FC held their nerve to overcome Paris Saint-Germain on penalties after a goalless draw in Calais, lifting their first major trophy since rebranding from Juvisy in 2017. Chiamaka Nnadozie’s decisive save in the shootout ended a 14-year duopoly of the French Cup by PSG and Lyon. The sides meet again in the league play-offs this weekend, with PSG seeking revenge and a shot at the title.

QUICK HITS

8. Villa’s resurgence gathers pace: Natalia Arroyo’s tactical shift to a back-three has paid off handsomely, with Villa notching four straight wins and 13 goals. Their latest triumph – a 3-2 win over West Ham – follows a 5-2 hammering of Arsenal and confirms their revival after a sluggish start.

7. Frankfurt back in Europe: A second-half brace from Nicole Anyomi sealed a 3-1 win over Hoffenheim and secured European qualification for Eintracht Frankfurt. Although they lost pace with Bayern earlier this year, they remain a force domestically.

6. Valencia’s survival hopes slim: A strong run of recent form, including Saturday’s 2-0 win over Eibar, may have come too late. Valencia must now win both of their remaining matches – including one against Real Madrid – to avoid the drop.

5. London City Lionesses roar to promotion: Despite a star-studded squad featuring Asllani and Jakobsson, LCL were pushed all the way by Birmingham City. It was young Izzy Goodwin who stole the show with a 20-yard screamer to help seal a 2-2 draw and promotion.

4. Roma collapse dents European bid: Leading 3-0 at home, Roma somehow let Milan claw back a 3-3 draw. A Fiorentina win next week could now see the Giallorosse miss out on Europe altogether.

3. Tired Bremen stumble: Still fatigued from their DFB-Pokal final loss to Bayern, Werder Bremen succumbed 2-1 to lowly Köln, snapping the visitors’ nine-match winless run.

2. Atletico close in on Europe: A vital 1-0 win over Athletic Club means Atletico Madrid need just one more win to clinch the final UWCL spot, extending their lead to four points with two matches remaining.

1. Changing of the guard in French football: Paris FC’s victory over PSG in the Coupe de France final could be a sign of shifting dynamics in French women’s football. For the first time in 14 years, the Cup has a new champion outside the usual suspects. With Lyon not in the final and PSG faltering, Paris FC have made a compelling case to be counted among the elite. Their continued progress, both domestically and in Europe, signals a potential new era in the balance of power.
