Football has made a number of off-field decisions this week, but there are also a few titles at stake after the Corona break. Bayern want to become champions in Bremen on Tuesday.

Berlin (dpa) - The soccer Bundesliga is entering the decisive phase. On Tuesday evening everything could be clear at the top and at the bottom.

The next day, the next steps in the European Cup are discussed - and Cristiano Ronaldo could win his next trophy. Jürgen Klopp also intervenes again.

MASTER: FC Bayern can make the eighth title in a row perfect with a win on Tuesday evening (8:30 p.m. / Sky) at relegation candidate Werder Bremen. A draw would be enough for the championship after 32 game days if Borussia Dortmund on Wednesday (8.30 p.m. / Sky) against FSV Mainz 05 also did not go beyond a draw. Should Werder, despite expectations, offer greater resistance, Munich would have the next chance against SC Freiburg on Saturday (3:30 p.m. / Sky). That Bayern would lose their lead of seven points in the remaining three games would be a football miracle.

ABSTEIGER: At the same time, the descent of SC Paderborn could be sealed on Tuesday. The East Westphalia, which anyway only have theoretical chances of being saved, will play at 1. FC Union Berlin in the evening (8.30 p.m. / Sky). Only one win would put the competitors from Bremen and Düsseldorf, eight points away (on Wednesday at 8:30 p.m. / Sky at RB Leipzig) under minimal pressure. If either wins, a Paderborn success in Berlin would be meaningless. The Fortuna and Werder fight for the relegation place - and hope to be able to leave the relegation zone entirely. On Saturday (3.30 p.m. / Sky) Bremen will play at the current table 15. Mainz.

MOVE UP: If second division leader Arminia Bielefeld wins his catch-up game against last-placed Dynamo Dresden on Monday evening (8.30 p.m. / Sky), the return to the Bundesliga is imminent. Should Hamburger SV not defeat VfL Osnabrück after a Bielefeld victory on Tuesday, matchday 32, the Arminia is first class again.

EUROPEAN CUP: The Executive Committee of the European Football Union UEFA wants to decide on Wednesday where, when and in what form the European Cup competitions, which have been suspended due to the corona pandemic, will be continued. Lisbon seems to be the favorite for hosting a blitz tournament in the Champions League. North Rhine-Westphalia could win the Europa League with several venues. To be played in August. The agenda also includes advice on the EM postponed to the summer of 2021, and the host cities may be confirmed. In addition, the UEFA Exko has to clarify open dates for the coming season, including for the planned international matches in the Nations League.

RESTART: Football will be played in the Premier League again this week, and in the best case Jürgen Klopp with Liverpool FC on Sunday evening (8:00 p.m.) in the derby at Everton could make the first championship title perfect in 30 years. However, second place in the table and defending champion Manchester City would have to lose their catch-up game against Arsenal on Wednesday (9.15 p.m.). The first game after a good three-month break is previously played by Aston Villa and Sheffield United (7:00 p.m.).

CUP WINNERS: In Italy, the cup winner will be chosen on Wednesday (9:00 p.m.). Master Juventus of superstar Cristiano Ronaldo meets SSC Napoli in the empty Olympic Stadium in Rome. The league will start again on Sunday in the country hard hit by the Corona crisis. Atalanta Bergamo and Sassuolo Calcio kick off, followed by Inter Milan against Sampdoria Genoa.
