Girona were relegated from La Liga after one season, despite having played in the Champions League the previous year. The Catalans, who had finished third two seasons earlier, needed a win to stay up but drew 1-1 with Elche. Mallorca were also relegated even after beating bottom side Real Oviedo 3-0, finishing on 42 points alongside Osasuna and Levante. Mallorca were sent to the second tier because they lost the head-to-head tiebreaker among the three clubs. Champions Barcelona lost 3-1 at Valencia but still missed out on European qualification. Celta Vigo secured sixth place and a Europa League spot with a 1-0 win over Sevilla, while Getafe finished seventh and qualified for the Conference League after a 1-0 win over Osasuna. Real Madrid beat Athletic Bilbao 4-2, with goals from Jude Bellingham and Kylian Mbappe, and Dani Carvajal made his 451st and final appearance.
"Girona have been relegated from La Liga just a season after playing in the Champions League. The Catalans, who finished third two seasons ago, needed to win to stay up but were held to a 1-1 draw by Elche. Mallorca are also down despite a 3-0 win over bottom side Real Oviedo that saw them finish on 42 points, level with Osasuna and Levante. However, Mallorca were consigned to the second tier after losing the head-to-head tiebreaker between the three clubs."
"Champions Barcelona were beaten 3-1 at Valencia but it was not enough for Carlos Corberan's side to sneak into the European places. Sixth place and a Europa League spot went to Celta Vigo after their 1-0 win over Sevilla, while Getafe's 1-0 win over Osasuna helped them finish seventh and claim Conference League qualification."
"Meanwhile, Jude Bellingham and Kylian Mbappe were both on target as Real Madrid beat Athletic Bilbao 4-2 at the Santiago Bernabeu in Dani Carvajal's 451st and final appearance for the club."
