AI Summary

Girona's Relegation from La Liga marks a dramatic fall from grace just a season after their participation in the Champions League. The Catalan side, who finished an impressive third two seasons ago, needed a win against Elche to secure their top-flight status but ended up with a disappointing 1-1 draw.

Mallorca also faced relegation despite a strong performance, securing a 3-0 victory over bottom-placed Real Oviedo. They finished the season with 42 points, tying with Osasuna and Levante. Unfortunately for Mallorca, they lost the crucial head-to-head tiebreaker among the three clubs, sealing their fate in the second tier.

In other notable matches, Barcelona suffered a 3-1 defeat against Valencia, but this did not hinder their position at the top of the league. Celta Vigo claimed the sixth spot and a Europa League berth following their 1-0 win over Sevilla. Meanwhile, Getafe secured seventh place and Conference League qualification with their own 1-0 victory against Osasuna.

In a standout performance, Jude Bellingham and Kylian Mbappe both scored as Real Madrid triumphed over Athletic Bilbao with a 4-2 scoreline, marking Dani Carvajal's final appearance for the club in his 451st match.
