29 May, 2023
FC Barcelona 3-0 Real Mallorca
LaLiga champions FC Barcelona cruised to a 3-0 win over Real Mallorca in their final home game of the season.
Both Jordi Alba and Sergi Busquets were handed starting berths in their final games in a Blaugrana shirt.
The champions broke the deadlock inside the first minute when Ansu Fati marked his return to the starting line-up with a goal after being set up by Gavi.
The visitors were then reduced to ten men on 14 minutes when Amath Ndiaye was shown a straight red card for a challenge on Alejandro Balde.
Fati managed to double Barcelona's lead in the 24th minute with his second goal of the game.
The third goal arrived in the 70th minute as Gavi collected a pass from Ousmane Dembele before finding the top corner with a powerful left-footed strike.
Atletico Madrid 2-1 Real Sociedad
Atletico Madrid remain in the hunt to finish second in LaLiga after defeating Real Sociedad 2-1 on Sunday evening. Diego Simeone's charges were looking to bounce back after playing to a 3-3 draw away to Espanyol last weekend. Los Rojiblancos got the opening goal in the 37th minute courtesy of a finish from talisman Antoine Griezmann.
Atletico doubled their lead in the 73rd minute as Griezmann turned provider to set up Nahuel Molina for his fifth goal of the campaign.
Alexander Sørloth did pull one back for Sociedad on 88 minutes, but it proved to be nothing more than a consolation for the visitors.
Sevilla 1-2 Real Madrid
Real Madrid cemented second spot for another week after rallying from behind to defeat to Sevilla on Saturday evening.
Los Blancos were once again without Vinicius, while Karim Benzema and Marco Asensio missed out through injury.
The home side got off to the perfect start when Rafa Mir opened the scoring with his sixth goal of the season after just three minutes.
However, Los Blancos were back on level terms in the 29th minute courtesy of a superb free-kick from Rodrgyo that sailed into the bottom corner.
The Brazilian attacker would have the final as well, as he got the winning goal for the visitors in the 69th minute to remain second heading into the final day of the season.
