With eight rounds of games left, Poland's Ekstraklasa remains the most intriguing and exciting league in the whole of Europe. The table is so tight that the title race and the fight to survive relegation look like going to the wire, with teams battling for Europe still also looking over their shoulder at the relegation zone. Just 15 points separate leaders Lech Poznan (44 points) from 17th-placed Widzew Lodz (29), who are one place off the bottom and in the drop zone with three teams facing relegation. Motor Lublin sum it up: seventh place, seven points off the top, but also just seven above relegation. Even beyond the league, the wonderful chaos remains - this season's Polish Cup quarter-finals featured sides from the third and fourth tiers.
