La Liga finishes with relegation and European berths in play
Five clubs can still reach Europe and six are fighting relegation as the final round unfolds, with top-five Champions League spots already set.
La Liga concludes its 20-team season this Saturday, with matches deciding European qualification and relegation spots. All games occur simultaneously, except for Sunday's Villarreal versus Atletico Madrid match, which determines third place.
A tightly packed table leaves five teams vying for Europa League or Conference League spots, while six clubs face potential relegation alongside the already demoted Real Oviedo.
Girona and Mallorca enter the final matchday fighting to avoid the drop, while Celta Vigo needs a draw against Sevilla to secure the sixth-place Europa League berth.
Farewell matches for Barcelona striker Robert Lewandowski, Atletico's Antoine Griezmann, and Athletic Bilbao coach Ernesto Valverde highlight the final round after his record-breaking tenure.
Real Sociedad already holds a Europa League spot after winning the Copa del Rey, while Rayo Vallecano eyes the Conference League berth ahead of their upcoming final in Germany.
It is going to be incredibly exciting on the final day of the Spanish league. With just one match left, five clubs could still be relegated, including Donny van de Beek and Daley Blind's Girona. This is the state of affairs at the bottom of La Liga.
