While Barcelona have already sealed the La Liga title and the Champions League spots are decided, Spain’s top flight is heading toward a breathtaking finish at the bottom of the table, where nearly half the league is still fighting for survival.

In an extraordinary situation with only two rounds remaining , every team from 10th place downward, except already relegated Real Oviedo , remains mathematically in danger of going down. Just five points separate Rayo Vallecano in 10th from Mallorca and Levante in the relegation zone, turning the final weeks into a tense survival battle.

All eyes will be on Round 37 , with every match kicking off simultaneously to ensure fairness and heighten the drama. The key clash features Mallorca taking on fellow strugglers Levante in a decisive relegation battle. A win could lift either side out of danger, while a defeat may push the loser to the edge heading into the final weekend.

Elsewhere, Elche hosts already safe Getafe , while Alaves visits relegated Oviedo knowing even a single mistake could prove costly. Girona faces a difficult away trip to Atletico Madrid , while Sevilla , despite sitting 12th, is still not fully safe ahead of its showdown with Real Madrid .

The battle also features emotional storylines. Vedat Muriqi continues to carry Mallorca’s hopes after scoring 22 league goals this season. Meanwhile, Antoine Griezmann and Robert Lewandowski are preparing for emotional farewells as they near the end of their time with Atletico Madrid and Barcelona respectively.

With survival, pride, and futures on the line, La Liga’s closing weeks promise pure football drama.
