The Most Interesting Football Matchups in the Month of May 2013

Now that the UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League semi-finals are behind us, lets take a look at some of the more important games coming up in the month of May.

Manchester United have won the English Premier League, Bayern Munich have won the Bundesliga, Barcelona have pretty much won the La Liga, PSG are for sure winning Ligue 1 and Juventus are one game away from winning Serie A. All the champions in the five major leagues are known, but there is still a lot to be played for. Teams near the top are battling for a place in the Champions League / Europa League next season, while the teams towards the bottom are battling for survival in the top divisions. There are several cup finals yet to be played and of course towards the end of the month there are the UEFA Champions League and Europa League finals.

Everything will come together, or unfold for some, over the next four or so weeks.
