Real Madrid raced into a 2-0 lead with Mbappe scoring twice inside 14 minutes, but Barca hit four by half-time - one each for Eric Garcia and Lamine Yamal, and two for Raphinha. Mbappe scored again with 20 minutes left, to take his club total in all competitions to 39 - the most ever by a Real Madrid player in their debut season - and Barca's Fermin Lopez had a goal ruled out for handball in a gripping finish. Victory put Barca seven points clear of their arch-rivals with three games left to play. Hansi Flick named an unchanged Barcelona side following their draining Champions League semi-final defeat by Inter Milan on Tuesday, and in the early stages they looked lethargic. Mbappe converted from the penalty spot after he was felled by Barcelona goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny, and added a second after running on to Vinicius Junior's through ball in behind Barcelona's high defensive line. As the Frenchman celebrated, he likely didn't expect what came next at the Lluis Companys Olympic Stadium. Garcia halved the deficit with a header from a corner in the 19th minute, before Lamine Yamal produced his latest piece of brilliance. The 17-year-old was quiet for the first half-an-hour, but announced his arrival in the match by curling a sumptuous strike into the bottom corner of Thibaut Courtois' goal. Barca pressed Real Madrid relentlessly and took the lead less than two minutes later when Raphinha found himself in space on the left of the box - after Mbappe and Lucas Vazquez got in each other's way under pressure - and arrowed past Courtois. The Ballon d'Or candidate then headed over Yamal's cross, but made no mistake in converting Ferran Torres' cut-back after stealing possession from Vazquez. Moments earlier Mbappe thought he had won a penalty, but a video assistant referee review showed Jude Bellingham was fractionally offside. Barcelona started the second half as they ended the first - Raphinha raced into the Real Madrid half and squared for Yamal to tap home, but the Brazilian was rightly flagged offside. Real Madrid looked to be flagging when Mbappe completed his hat-trick from close range to move two goals clear in the race to be La Liga's top scorer, before Raphinha missed a sitter from a few yards out at the other end. Victor Munoz, Madrid's 21-year-old substitute, blazed over when bearing down on goal, before Mbappe forced Szczesny into a smart low stop. Fermin Lopez looked to have scored a brilliant fifth, but a VAR check ruled it out for handball in the build-up. Having already beaten Real Madrid in La Liga, the Spanish Super Cup final and the Copa del Rey final this season, Barca equalled the record they set in 1982-83 of winning four Clasicos in a single campaign. That Real Madrid have conceded 16 goals in four Clasicos this season illustrates their decline and Barcelona's improvement over the past nine months. Barcelona will win the league title with victory against neighbours Espanyol on Thursday, or if Real Madrid lose to Mallorca on Wednesday.

There was a celebratory atmosphere as Liverpool - who wrapped up the title two weeks ago - raced ahead with two goals in two minutes. They scored the first in the 20th minute when Arsenal's defence switched off following a quick throw-in and Andy Robertson's cross was headed in by Cody Gakpo. The Reds doubled their lead a minute later when Dominik Szoboszlai chased on to a forward pass and squared the ball for Luis Diaz to slide into an empty net. Arsenal looked as though they were heading for a heavy defeat but rallied after the break. Gabriel Martinelli headed in a cross from Leandro Trossard to give them a lifeline in the 47th minute before Merino followed into the area to score after Alisson tipped a shot from Martin Odegaard on to the crossbar. Merino was then sent off for a second bookable offence when he lunged into a tackle on the edge of the Arsenal penalty area after losing possession - and the visitors played the final 10 minutes a man down. It was Trent Alexander-Arnold's first appearance for Liverpool since he announced he would be leaving at the end of the season and he was booed by supporters when he came on as a substitute. He almost turned those boos to cheers when his free-kick, following the red card for Merino, curled just wide of the post. There was drama right at the finish as Robertson had a goal ruled out. The defender found the net after goalkeeper David Raya had parried Virgil van Dijk's header - but there was a foul by Ibrahima Konate on Myles Lewis-Skelly in the build-up. The result leaves Liverpool 15 points clear of second-placed Arsenal, who remain in control of their own destiny as they look to secure Champions League football next season.

The Magpies and Chelsea started the day locked on the same 63-point tally before Newcastle got the perfect start when Sandro Tonali's close-range finish gave them the lead after just 112 seconds. The visitors' task was made even harder when striker Nicolas Jackson was rightly sent off for a needless forearm smash on Newcastle defender Sven Botman 10 minutes before the break. Manager Enzo Maresca adjusted by using Cole Palmer as a false nine, inspiring a Chelsea revival after the break, with keeper Nick Pope twice saving well from Marc Cucurella and Enzo Fernandez. Reece James missed another big opportunity for Chelsea, but Newcastle survived to wrap up a priceless three points in stoppage time when Bruno Guimaraes' strike took a deflection off Malo Gusto and looped over keeper Robert Sanchez. While it was delight for Newcastle, it was despair for Chelsea after an expensive loss as they now face Manchester United at home before a potentially decisive visit to Nottingham Forest, also chasing a Champions League place, on the final day of the season. Newcastle, up to third in the table, travel to second-placed Arsenal before closing out their campaign at home to Everton.

Hamburg have earned promotion back to the Bundesliga to end a seven-year absence from the German top flight. Needing a win to confirm their return, the six-time German champions thrashed Ulm 6-1 at home on Saturday and fans engulfed the pitch at the Volksparkstadion at the final whistle to celebrate. Hamburg, who are one of only three German clubs to win the European Cup, were relegated from the Bundesliga for the first time in 2018. "It's indescribable," said 34-year-old coach Merlin Polzin, whose side are a point clear of second-placed Cologne at the top of Bundesliga 2 with one game left. "Something had been building in the background. We're back. In the end, it's the result of incredibly hard work. A very special moment." Hamburg thought they had earned automatic promotion in 2023 when they beat Sandhausen 1-0 to move into the top two of Bundesliga 2 on the final day of the season. However, Heidenham scored a 99th-minute winner in their game to leapfrog Hamburg, who finished third and went on to lose a promotion-relegation play-off to Stuttgart.

With 31 minutes played, Michael Olise cut inside before aiming a shot towards the top corner that was headed in by Kane for his 25th Bundesliga goal of the season. French winger Olise completed the victory in the 90th minute with a clever flicked finish into the bottom corner from Leroy Sane's pass. Kane was restored to the starting line-up after serving a one-match suspension and proved his worth as he has done consistently throughout the campaign that saw Bayern reclaim the title. Manuel Neuer, returning in goal for Bayern after two months out with a calf problem, got down quickly to push a low shot from Robin Hack around the post as Gladbach went in search of a first-half equaliser. Bayern pushed forward and Kingsley Coman rose highest in the box but could only head wide, while Sane's low shot was saved. Neuer made another great save to deny Tomas Cvancara when he was sent clear through on goal. Muller started on his 750th appearance for Bayern before his summer departure and was honoured pre-match. The German forward, 35, was unable to mark the milestone with a goal, despite three promising attempts and left the field to huge applause from fans in the Allianz Arena - as well as a guard of honour from his team-mates - in the 84th minute. Vincent Kompany's side complete their season next Saturday (14:30 BST) away at Hoffenheim.
