Six weeks into the Bundseliga season and already so many talking points: Bayern München and VfL Wolfsburg are at the top of the table, while the recently promoted club Mainz are at the bottom. So everything is just as it always is, right? Well, not entirely.

There have been some surprises so far, dramatic games, clubs performing differently to expectations and five red cards.

The 2026/27 Liga F season has burst into life, with six match days completed and plenty of early storylines emerging across Spain’s top flight. Barcelona have made the strongest start, sitting top of the table with a perfect six wins from six. Madrid CFF sit second, while Real Madrid are level on points having collected four victories, one draw and a dismantling 7-0 loss to Barcelona at Camp Nou. 

The Lionesses travelled to face Greece for the first leg of their 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup Qualifiers, making this the first time each team have faced each-other. The two-legged tie kicked off in Heraklion, Crete on Friday. 

Sarina Wiegman’s Lionesses secured a 3-1 victory in the first leg, with clinical goals from Georgia Stanway, Maya Le Tissier and Alessia Russo. Both Liverpool Captain, Grace Fisk and North Carolina Courage’s Erica Meg Parkinson came on to make their debuts, inching closer to their dreams of World Cup football. However, Captain Kallisti Brouksair capitalised on a defensive error and pulled one back for Greece late on. The hosts played tactically and prevented England from finding pockets of space early on: the Lionesses had to adapt and fight for the win.
