A rollercoaster last day of La Liga action ended withAtlético third, Valencia fourth, Sevilla fifth, and Deportivo and Granada surviving at the expense of Eibar and Almería.
Valencia nabbed a spot in the Champions League play-offs through a hard-fought victory in Almería, meaning Sevilla will have to win the Europa League final to avoid going back into the competition next term.
Athletic de Bilbao will join Villarreal in the Europa League after sealing seventh spot with a crushing rout of none other than the Yellow Submarine, setting themselves up perfectly for next week's Copa del Rey final.
At the bottom, Ipurúa went from euphoria to heartbreak.Despite Eibar thrashing already relegated Córdoba, Deportivo saved themselves with an equaliser at the Camp Nou and condemned the Basque minnows to the drop.Almería also put on a brave stand, but were ultimately unable to hold on against Valencia and so head back to the second division.
