It would have been a good opportunity for Monchengladbach to cut the gap to the target first places in the table after Freiburg, Leipzig and Eintracht Frankfurt remained winless. But the team surrounding goalkeeper Jonas Omlin and defender Nico Elvede eventually had to be happy with a point. Cologne was the better team. Ambitious Borussia have picked up just three points in five matches since beating Bayern Munich 3-2 in February.

Series A

Napoli – Milan 0: 4

The difference came from the Portuguese Rafael Leao and the Spaniard Ibrahim Diaz, who scored the first two goals in the first 25 minutes. After an hour of beautiful individual action, Leao also scored a 3-0 win against Napoli, which was disappointing for once.

A first scudetto since 1990 should not take away from the southern Italians despite their third defeat of the season. Still an advantage over the first chaser Lazio Roma 16 points.
