NOS Football–
Espanyol has been relegated from the Spanish league. The Barcelona team gave up the lead deep in injury time in the relegation cracker against Valencia, making it 2-2.
For the Valencia of base player Justin Kluivert, the tie is very important, as the point gained means the club is doing good business in the fight against relegation.
FC Barcelona recorded a 3-0 victory over RCD Mallorca at home. Ansu Fati scored two goals. The other goal was scored by Gavi. Frenkie de Jong played the whole match.
During the penultimate round of La Liga play, coach Xavi’s team made a gala performance of the last home game of captain Sergio Busquets and left back Jordi Alba, who are both leaving.
Farewell Nou Camp
FC Barcelona is bidding a temporary farewell to Camp Nou, the stadium that is undergoing major renovation. Next season, the Spanish champion will play its home matches in the Olympic Stadium on Montjuïc Mountain.
The relegation battle in the Spanish league is unprecedentedly exciting. Besides the already relegated clubs Espanyol and Elche, six more teams can descend to the second tier.
Big celebration was in Madrid, where Real Sociedad managed to qualify for the Champions League despite a defeat at Atlético (2-1). Indeed, at the same time, rival Villarreal lost to Rayo Vallecano by the same figures.
