Here's who we've picked out as the biggest Winners and Losers from the last few days:
Winner: Lyon
Lyon have been in the headlines for the wrong reasons in the last few weeks with manager Paulo Fonseca handed a nine-month ban for an altercation with a referee, but the side claimed a big win in their first match without their manager on the touchline and were richly rewarded for it.
Playing away from home against a Nice side that were sitting in third after picking up four league wins in a row, Lyon defended resolutely and then scored two goals in five minutes deep into the second half to secure a victory that put them within two points of the final Champions League qualification spot.
Owner John Textor was so pleased with the result that he video-called captain Alexandre Lacazette straight after the game and informed the striker and his teammates while they were in the dressing room that they would have their bonuses for the match tripled.
Is that a wise decision given the club have such severe financial problems that they were told in November they'd be relegated if they didn't solve such problems by the end of the season? Probably not. Are such rash decisions partly why the club ended up in this mess in the first place? Probably.
If any players are worried about ending up in Ligue 2 though, at least they'll have plenty of €50 notes to dry their tears with.
Loser: Atletico Madrid
With five minutes plus stoppage time to go in their match against Getafe, things were looking good for Atletico Madrid. Despite being largely outplayed by their city rivals, they were 1-0 up and set to go two points clear at the top of LaLiga. And then it all went wrong.
Things fell apart in the blink of an eye when Angel Correa was sent off in the 88th minute and Mauro Arambarri equalised seconds later. Four minutes after that, the same player made it 2-1 and suddenly Atleti had gone from claiming a crucial win to suffering a costly defeat.
That became even more costly a few hours later when Real Madrid secured a 2-1 win against Rayo Vallecano. As a result, Diego Simeone's side sit a point behind both Los Blancos and Barcelona, with the latter also having a game in hand on them.
There may be plenty more twists and turns in this title fight, but four minutes of madness saw Atletico Madrid squander the chance to put themselves in pole position, and with Barcelona in particular in such good form, it feels like they may not get another.
Winner: Darwin Nunez
While LaLiga's title race rages on, the Premier League's is all but over - if it wasn't already - following a weekend that saw Liverpool go 15 points clear. Perhaps the best news for Arne Slot other than the fact that Arsenal dropped points was Darwin Nunez finally ending his seven-week goal drought in his side's 3-1 win against Southampton.
Nunez has been one of Liverpool's few disappointments this season, struggling in front of goal even more than he did in what was a mixed 2023/24 campaign. On Saturday though, he stepped up, bagging the equaliser with a powerful finish at the start of the second half, and with that goal coming a few days after he got an excellent assist against PSG, the Uruguayan may be starting to live up to his potential.
If that does prove to be the case, it would be huge for Liverpool. They already have one of the most potent front threes in Europe in Mo Salah, Luis Diaz and Cody Gakpo, who have 61 goals between them in all competitions, but an in-form Nunez would give a more direct, more physical threat that they've sometimes been missing when in need of a goal.
Like a lot of strikers, Nunez is a player whose form is largely determined by his confidence, and with that boosted by a first goal in 11 matches, he could soon have Liverpool fans dreaming of a treble.
Loser: Juventus
While they were knocked out of the Champions League and Coppa Italia by opponents they really should have beaten in February, Juventus did manage to get themselves onto the fringes of the Serie A title race with five league wins in a row, but Thiago Motta and his team were given a brutal reality check by Atalanta on Sunday.
Not only did they lose 4-0 on home turf but fully deserved to as well, with the visitors racking up an xG of 3.76 from the 19 attempts on goal that they had. It was a proper thrashing in every sense of the word.
It was an historic one too, with it being the first time that Juventus have been beaten by four or more goals in a Serie A home match since 1967.
Things are now looking very bleak indeed for the Old Lady, with the club out of both cup competitions and well adrift of the top three in Serie A. If they don't at the very least secure Champions League qualification, Motta's future at the club could become very much uncertain.
Winner: Kacper Krzepisz
A team with just three players on their bench and a reserve goalkeeper that's brought on to play outfield. Yeah, wild things are happening in Poland's second division.
Facing a number of off-the-pitch problems, Kotwica Kolobrzeg had six fewer substitutes than opponents Polonia Warszawa on Sunday, so it seemed like the game was done and dusted when they trailed 2-0 with 30 minutes to go. What were they going to do? Turn to their bench?
Well, yes. With the team pushing for an equaliser with 10 minutes to go after halving the deficit, backup keeper Kacper Krzepisz was brought on to play outfield, chosen instead of third and final substitute Kacper Obloj. If you think that Obloj would be the better option by virtue of the fact that he actually plays outfield, think again.
In the seventh minute of stoppage time, Krzepisz played an important part in the move that saw his team win a penalty, one that was converted to secure a crucial point that took them out of the relegation zone.
Say goodbye to the gloves Kacper, a change of position may be on the cards.
Loser: Cole Palmer
While Nunez ended his goal drought over in England, Cole Palmer wasn't able to do so against Leicester with the toughest spell of his senior career to date going on.
That will be made all the more frustrating by the fact that he had a golden opportunity to score his first goal in nine matches when Chelsea were given a penalty, but instead, his perfect record came to an end with the Englishman missing from the spot for the first time in his Premier League career.
His record of 12 goals from 12 penalties was the longest 100% record in the league's history, and while he won't lose too much sleep over losing that record, his poor form will start to concern him and his manager.
Palmer got 17 goal contributions in his first 17 matches of the season but has racked up just three in his last 15, and that run is made all the more concerning by the fact that he's faced Ipswich, Leicester and Southampton in that period, sides that he'd be expected to thrive against.
Enzo Maresca also revealed that the player had been suffering from fever and diarrhea prior to the match, so it's fair to say it was a week to forget for poor old Cole.
Winner: Tom Cleverley
At most clubs, a manager reaching their one-year anniversary wouldn't be worth mentioning, but Watford aren't like most clubs.
On Sunday, Tom Cleverley became the first man to last a year in the job since Javi Gracia did so in 2019. When Cleverley took over, 10 managers had been in and out the door at Vicarage Road before their stay at the club hit 12 months.
He wasn't able to celebrate his anniversary weekend with a win as his side lost 2-1 to Millwall, but just being able to celebrate it at all is an achievement in itself.
