European round-up: Real defeat leaves Barca on the brink, De Ligt strike keeps Bayern two clear

Real Madrid all but handed the La Liga title to Barcelona as they let in two goals to collapse in the final 20 minutes at home to Villarreal.

Samuel Chukwueze scored twice, the second a brilliant effort 10 minutes from time after Jose Morales had levelled, as Real threw away the lead to go down 3-2 after Vinicius Junior's goal just after half-time seemed to have them in sight of victory.

Bayer Leverkusen beat Frankfurt 3-1 to leapfrog the Europa League holders into the European places, whilst Mainz and Werder Bremen drew 2-2. Augsburg went down 3-1 at home to Koln and Leipzig were 1-0 winners against Hertha Berlin.
