The penultimate round is special once again, and we’ll bring it to you live in our multi-match coverage:

Levante and Mallorca are fighting for their lives today at the Ciutat

Level on 39 points in 18th and 19th place, they are both looking to climb out of the hole today with these lineups:

Levante: Ryan, Toljan, Dela, Matías Moreno, Manu Sánchez, Olasa, Pablo Martínez, Arriaga, Losada, Iván Romero and Espí.

Mallorca: Leo Román; Maffeo, Valjent, David López, Mojica; Darder, Samu Costa, Morlanes, Pablo Torre; Luvumbo, Muriqi.

Later, he looked calmer during the warm-up, but this is without a doubt the most emotional match he has played in his career as a rojiblanco.

A generational footballer is leaving. 

The lineups for Athletic-Celta

A direct battle for Europe at San Mamés, with the farewell to Ernesto Valverde and Lekue as the emotional backdrop, and these starting XIs:

Athletic: Unai Simón; Gorosabel, Yeray, Laporte; Yuri; Jauregizar, Ruiz de Galarreta, Iñaki Williams, Unai Gómez, Berenguer and Guruzeta.

Celta: Radu; Javi Rodríguez, Yoel, Marcos Alonso; Javi Rueda, Ilaix, Fer López, Carreira; Jutglà, Borja Iglesias and Williot.

Celta have almost secured a Europa League place; Athletic need to win and hope Getafe slip up.

Rayo - Villarreal

Mbappé and Carvajal start against Sevilla

The lineups for the round are starting to come out, and these are the teams for the fascinating Sevilla-Real Madrid clash — especially for the Andalusians.

The big news for Los Blancos is Mbappé’s presence in the starting lineup after his barbs aimed at Arbeloa.

Sevilla: Odysseas, Carmona, Castrín, Kike Salas, Suazo, Gudelj, Sow, Vargas, Oso, Akor and Maupay.

Real Madrid: Courtois, Fran García, Huijsen, Rudiger, Carvajal, Tchouameni, Thiago, Bellingham, Vinicius, Brahim and Mbappé.

The maze to qualify for Europe

Real Madrid, Atlético, Villarreal and Betis have already secured their places in next season’s Champions League; Real Sociedad have secured theirs in the Europa League, but one Europa League spot and one Conference League spot are still up for grabs.

Celta, Getafe and Athletic Club are battling for sixth place, which grants access to the Europa League. All three of them, along with Rayo Vallecano, Valencia and Sevilla, can still qualify for the Conference League.

Even Osasuna and Espanyol still have remote chances of finishing seventh...

But there are other possible scenarios. Real Sociedad have their place secured for winning the Copa del Rey, and Rayo could also get one if they end up winning the Conference League.

None of these teams have any chance of reaching the Europa League. Meanwhile, Rayo will play in the Conference final, and if they win it, they would book their ticket to the 'orange' competition.

If Real Sociedad finish 6th and Rayo 7th, provided Rayo beat Palace, there would be no Europa League or Conference League qualification based on league merits.

The fiercest battle is between 17th and 19th place. Three clubs are level on points, marking the line between survival and the abyss.

In this article, we go over the possibilities for the teams that still need one more step to stay up.

What is still at stake?

There are two matchdays left, and one Europa League place, one Conference League place, and two of the teams that will be relegated alongside Real Oviedo are still to be decided.

This is what the table looks like at the bottom of the league. It’s scary...
