Football leagues around Europe have concluded their seasons with several teams regaining their crowns, while others simply extended their long runs on the throne. Here is a look at the final results in the continent’s three top flights outside of England and Spain.

In Italy, Juventus sealed their sixth straight Serie A title after beating Crotone 3-0. Those three points give team known as "the Old Lady" an unassailable lead over Roma and Napoli with one match remaining, securing the position they ascended to during the fifth week of the campaign.

Juve also defeated Lazio to win the Coppa Italia, so the club is in line for a treble if they can upend Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League Final on June 3.

In Germany, Bayern Munich won their fifth consecutive Bundesliga title with three games to spare, building on the league record for most consecutive trophies. The Bavarians have now won 27 domestic crowns, including 26 in the Bundesliga era.

In France, Monaco wrapped up the Ligue 1 season with a 3-2 win over Rennes. The team won its first league title since 2000, breaking the dominance of Paris Saint-Germain which had held the title since 2013, and returning to the top of French football just six years after being relegated to Ligue 2.
