    We'd also love to hear your thoughts and feelings on what is arguably the biggest game in Europe today, as Real travel to the San Mames. Cristiano Ronaldo was sent off there last year, and Carlo Ancelotti's side have been criticised by sections of their support.

    Meanwhile, Ryan Giggs has come to the defence of forward Gareth Bale, who's also come under fire.

    Now that, is commitment to the obscure Adam.

    This could be the best news of the day for Bayern though. With Wolfsburg losing, Pep Guardiola's side now lead the Bundesliga by 11 points. They think it's all over... and in all likelihood, yep. It probably is.

    It's all over at Hannover too, where Bayern have run out deserved winners. Thomas Muller's brace has settled it, after Xabi Alonso cancelled out a surprise early Hannover goal with a lovely curled free-kick.

    A vital point for Hamburg in their relegation battle, but surely Dortmund will be disappointed not to have won a fifth game in a row, as they continue to distance themselves from the bottom three.

  6. CLOSE!published at 16:19 Greenwich Mean Time 7 March 2015

    French Ligue 1

    Former Chelsea defender David Luiz forces a fine save from Lens stopper Rudy Riou. All the play with the home side so far, but looks like Riou is stubborn a frame of mind - he follows that save up by denying the unmarked Zlatan Ibrahimovic's shot.

    The home side look to have given up on this one. Bayern are just stroking the ball around, playing down the clock. 11 points. Surely that's too much of a lead for Wolfsburg to haul in now?

    Bayern are looking comfortable here. Five minutes to go and they can afford to be wasteful. Robben flashes a free-kick way over the bar.

    French Ligue 1

    Over in France, Paris Saint-Germain are looking to leapfrog Lyon at the top of the table. Just over 10 minutes gone at the Parc des Princes.

    Little sign of a Wolfsburg equaliser at Augsburg, where not even the prolific Bas Dost has been able to break through the home side's stubborn defence. Bayern are going 11 points clear if the scores stay the same.

    Well Hannover surprised us to take the lead, but can they pull another one out of the bag? Just over 10 minutes to go in this one.

  12. Postpublished at 16:04 Greenwich Mean Time 7 March 2015

    Bayern's spot at the top of the Bundesliga won't even come close to being threatened by this one, but Dortmund are still looking to break the deadlock at Hamburg. Italian striker Ciro Immobile has just come on for the away side.

    Even more good news! A bullet header from Thomas Muller, whorose like a silver herring, majestically flashing in the sunlight, to power home Franck Ribery's pinpoint cross. That's the Frenchman's ninth assist of the Bundesliga season. Two goals for Muller. Game over here?

  14. GOALpublished at 15:59 Greenwich Mean Time 7 March 2015

    Dominik Kohr gives sixth-placed Augsburg the lead, slotting in the rebound after Tobias Werner's penalty was saved. More good news for Bayern!

  15. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 15:58 Greenwich Mean Time 7 March 2015

    Bayern's last change with just over half an hour to play. Bastian Schweinsteiger comes on for Xabi Alonso.

    Hannover also make a change, with Edgar Prib coming on for Jimmy Briand.

  16. PENALTY APPEALpublished at 15:57 Greenwich Mean Time 7 March 2015

    Now the home side want a spot-kick but that really would be soft. Lenadro Bittencourt goes under after a challenge from Jerome Boateng, but the Bayern man won the ball, and Bittencourt only went down because he knew he couldn't reach it.

    John McEnerney: Fellow Whitehall man Liam Brady moving to Juventus in 1980 and then Sacchi's Milan with the Dutch boys, they were magic that AC Milan side.

    Derek Hart: Standard Liege v Minsk in Europa League. Cracking atmosphere, Standard a goal up after four minutes and ended 3-1 - brilliant night!

  18. GOALpublished at 15:50 Greenwich Mean Time 7 March 2015

    Thomas Muller shows a cool head when everybody around him is losing theirs. He slots away the penalty, but Hannover are angry about the penalty award.

    Franck Ribery flicked a header across goal for Robert Lewandowski and all the Poland international had to do was stoop very low to put it away on his head, but Marcelo caught him in the face with his boot.

    Hannover might argue the ball was there to be won, and that Lewandowski didn't have to go with his head, but Marcelo didn't connect with the ball.

    Slovenia midfielder Kevin Kampl with a decent effort for Borussia Dortmund which flashes past the post is the best of the action in Hamburg. This game is crying out for a bit of magic from Dortumund's Marco Reus.
