Final LaLiga Round: European Spots and Relegation Decided Live. The decisive final round of LaLiga 2025/26 will determine the fate of two European qualification spots and two relegation places. The battle involves Getafe, Celta, Rayo, Valencia, Espanyol, Levante, Osasuna, Elche, Girona, and Mallorca. Every goal could change the final outcome.
The 2025/26 LaLiga season in Spain is coming to an end, and the final round at several stadiums will determine who qualifies for European competitions and who will be relegated from the top flight. At stake are two spots in Europe and two relegation places, with the table shifting after virtually every goal scored.
Getafe and Celta remain in contention for a Europa League berth. Currently, Celta sits in sixth place with 51 points and has the head-to-head advantage. Getafe trails by three points but keeps its chances alive if Celta slips up against Sevilla and the Madrid side beats Osasuna. If Getafe falters, Rayo Vallecano has a chance to secure a European spot as well, potentially making it into the Conference League if it beats Alavés and its rivals drop points. Valencia and Espanyol still maintain theoretical hopes, but they need not only to win but also rely on defeats for their competitors.
The relegation battle is equally intense. Levante, Osasuna, Elche, Girona, and Mallorca are all fighting to stay up. Special attention is on the Girona vs Elche match: if Elche earns even a point, Mallorca and Girona are relegated to the Segunda. If Elche loses, Osasuna and Levante enter the survival race—both would only need a draw in their own matches to secure safety. For Mallorca to survive, they need to beat Oviedo and hope for losses by Osasuna and Elche, as well as for Levante to pick up points.
Throughout the round, the situation shifted several times. Goals from Guruzeta in Madrid, Espí for Levante, and Pablo Torre for Mallorca impacted the standings, but by halftime, everything remained as it was: Celta in the Europa League, Getafe in the Conference League, Mallorca and Girona in the drop zone. Elche strengthened its position thanks to a goal from Álvaro Rodríguez, while Real Sociedad, already qualified for Europe as Cup winners, scored against Espanyol, without affecting the European spots.
Personal head-to-head statistics between the contenders also play an important role, which is especially evident in the battle between Getafe and Celta. Even with equal points, the advantage remains with the Galicians. Rayo can take advantage of a slip by their neighbors, and if they win the Conference League final against Crystal Palace, they will qualify directly for the Europa League, leaving Spain without a representative in the Conference League next season.
In the parallel matches, Betis, Real Madrid and Alavés also scored, but these results did not affect the key positions in the table. Levante, despite Espí's goal, remained in the danger zone, while Mallorca, even after matching Levante in points, did not leave the relegation zone due to worse tiebreakers.
The final round takes place against the backdrop of Dani Carvajal's farewell as he ends his career with Real Madrid. Santiago Bernabéu Stadium is preparing a special event for the captain, with more details available in the article about Carvajal's farewell to the club.
LaLiga is traditionally marked by a tightly packed bottom of the table: the gap between the relegated and the survivors is often just 1–2 points. In the 2025/26 season, the fight for survival and European spots again keeps fans on edge until the last minutes. The outcome of the round will determine not only next season's participants, but also the distribution of European competition revenues for Spanish clubs.
