It was a crushing blow for Real Mallorca who had their hopes dashed as they waited on the pitch at their Ono Estadi to hear the result, having beaten Espanyol 2-0 minutes earlier.

Sevilla finished the campaign on 63 points to reach the Champions League preliminary round. Mallorca ended up fifth on 62 points to go into next season’s Europa League.

Mallorca will be joined by Getafe who are sixth after a 3-0 win at Atletico Madrid.

The title will be decided on Sunday when leaders Barcelona, on 96 points, host Real Valladolid and chasing Real Madrid, with 95, visit Malaga.

The three relegation spots will also be decided with the five remaining matches kicking off at the same time of 1700 GMT.
