Merry Christmas to you all – as we know which teams will be topping the tree during the holidays.
Despite not playing in the Premier League this weekend (winning the Club World Cup in Qatar), Liverpool are still way ahead in the title race, leading Leicester by 10 points with a game in hand.
Over in Spain, Barcelona edged ahead of Real Madrid thanks to a 4-0 win over Alaves, after a 0-0 stalemate in an eventless Clasico in midweek.
It’s a two-way tie in Serie A, as Inter Milan look to steal the crown off Juventus, with the Nerazzurri ahead on goal difference.
Bayern Munich lie in third place in the Bundesliga, four points behind RB Leipzig with Borussia Monchengladbach in second.
Lastly over in
France, it’s business as usual for PSG who are seven points clear of Marseille
with a game in hand.
It was a brilliant weekend
of footballing action across Europe, with some Christmas surprises for a lot of
clubs in the bottom half.

A squad of 23 players is set to be released at 6pm on Wednesday, 25 December – yes, Christmas day!
They will be available in packs from the FUT Store and can be bought and sold individually on the transfer market.
RealSport predicts who will be in this Christmas side.
Rune Almenning Jarstein (OVR 83 – IF 84)
Hertha Berlin clung on to a point against high-flying
Borussia Monchengladbach in the Bundesliga and Die Alte Dame have
