Manchester United secured their gold medals on Saturday with a low-key 0-0 game against Arsenal. It was just the one point that was needed to win the championship and that was what they got, even if it came close during the final minutes. Now they're champions of England for the eighteenth time, equalling Liverpool's record, the eleventh league win under manager Sir Alec Ferguson and the third in a row. Fellow Champions League finalists Barcelona, plus Italy's Inter also became champions on Saturday, albeit without kicking a ball, as Villarreal took all the points off Real Madrid as did Udinese off Milan. This meant that both teams' Sunday results were of no importance but Inter celebrated with a three goal thumping of Siena while Barcelona rested several first teamers ahead of their Champions League final against Manchester United and surprisingly lost their match away to Mallorca. The result in Italy also means trainer Jose Mourinho has won the championship in three countries.

The rest of the major leagues in Europe will have to wait at least a week to celebrate their Champions. In Germany, Wolfsburg went two points clear at the top after a 5-0 win away to Hannover while nearest rivals Bayern only drew while third place Stuttgart pulled level with them on points after a 2-0 win. These two teams meet in Munich next week.

Bordeaux's ninth win on the trot catapulted them to the top of Ligue 1 in France. The first time they have been on the summit this season. They are now three points clear of Marseille with two matches to play.

The Belgian title will have to be decided in a play-off between Standard Liege and Anderlecht. They both finished the league with the same number of points and an identical number of wins (goal difference is not a factor in Belgium).

Other leagues in Europe that have been decided are Austria (Red Bull Salzburg) and Croatia (Dinamo Zagreb), while Heerenveen won the cup in the Netherlands for the first time.

Next week, I'll be looking even farther afield.

All the best.
