Hansi Flick's side were seconds away from being confirmed as champions without playing, only for Madrid to score with practically the last kick of the game at the Bernabeu. Barcelona will only need a point at rivals Espanyol on Thursday (20:30 BST) to wrap up the title. Martin Valjent drilled a fine low effort to give visitors Mallorca the lead in the Spanish capital. Hosts Real were dominant but missed a host of chances before Kylian Mbappe found the bottom corner with a well-hit strike. They continued to miss chances before Ramon's close-range volley after some poor defending delivered the win. Despite this comeback, the title is still highly likely to go to Barcelona, who are four points ahead at the top with a game in hand. The league was as good as won thanks to Sunday's 4-3 Clasico win over Real, which was Barcelona's fourth victory over their rivals this season. That includes wins in the finals of the Copa del Rey and Spanish Super Cup. Legendary boss Carlo Ancelotti is likely to end his final season at Real Madrid without a major trophy. He takes over as Brazil manager once this La Liga season ends, with Xabi Alonso expected to replace him in time for June's Fifa Club World Cup. Including minor trophies, Ancelotti is the most successful boss in Real's history, with 15 pieces of silverware, including three Champions League and two La Liga wins. His last trophy came in December, with the win over Mexican side Pachuca in the Fifa Intercontinental Cup final in Qatar, a relatively minor triumph for a club who crave the biggest prizes in the game. "The team played very well. They fought a lot, played with a lot of intensity and it was a totally deserved victory," said Ancelotti. "We are happy because we want to finish the season well. This game didn't start well but afterwards we did very well in all senses."

Sampdoria have been relegated to Serie C for the first time in their 78-year history after a season dogged by managerial upheaval. The Genoa-based club were held to a goalless draw at Juve Stabia in their final Serie B match. That ensured they finished in 18th place, a point behind Salernitana who secured a relegation play-off place with a 2-0 victory over Cittadella. Sampdoria, who won their only Serie A title in 1991 with a star-studded team, had been playing in Italian football's second tier since they were relegated at the end of the 2022–23 season. Italian World Cup winner Andrea Pirlo was hired as coach in June 2023 but was unable to secure an immediate return to the top flight after they lost in the play-offs.

Ballard headed in off the underside of the bar in the final seconds of stoppage time to level the match at 1-1 on the night and secure a 3-2 aggregate victory over the Sky Blues. It was an incredible end to an evening filled with tension at the Stadium of Light after Ephron Mason-Clark had scored in the 76th minute to take the match to extra time. The Black Cats will now face Sheffield United at Wembley on Saturday, 24 May to decide who plays in the Premier League next season. In a meeting between the sides who finished fourth and fifth in the regular season, the Wearside club will have the chance to end an eight-year exile from the top flight. But the Sky Blues will rue a chance which USA forward Haji Wright headed wide in regulation stoppage time that would have booked their spot in the final.

The Blades, who won the first leg 3-0 at Ashton Gate on Thursday, started slowly but took the lead on the night when Kieffer Moore headed in Harrison Burrows' corner kick before the break. Gus Hamer added to their advantage with a deflected long-range shot from a corner routine which found him in acres of space at the edge of the area, and substitute Callum O'Hare slammed home his side's sixth of the semi-final. Chris Wilder's men will now face either Sunderland or Coventry City in the play-off final at Wembley on Saturday, 24 May as they look to secure an immediate return to the Premier League. Sheffield United's victory, by a record scoreline for a play-off semi-final at this level, means that the team who finished third in the regular season have progressed to the Championship play-off final in nine of the past 10 seasons.

The 65-year-old Italian will officially take charge of Brazil on 26 May following the conclusion of the La Liga season. He leaves the Santiago Bernabeu as one of the club's most successful managers. Ancelotti won 15 trophies across two spells as Real manager and last season led Los Blancos to a Champions League and La Liga double. However, his exit from Real comes after Sunday's El Clasico defeat left Real seven points behind leaders Barcelona with three games remaining. Barring a spectacular collapse from Barcelona, that result all but confirmed that Real will end the season without a trophy for the first time in four years.
