Vinicius Junior earned Real Madrid a 1-0 win at Sevilla on Sunday in La Liga in the penultimate round of fixtures, but results elsewhere mean the hosts have secured safety from relegation.
Levante earned a vital 2-0 win over Mallorca, who are 19th and in grave danger, along with Girona, 18th after a 1-0 defeat at Atletico Madrid.
Real Madrid will finish the season without a major trophy for the second year running, but produced a focussed display to beat Sevilla.
After Kylian Mbappe complained midweek he had been told by coach Alvaro Arbeloa he was Madrid’s “fourth forward” after he came on as a substitute against Real Oviedo, the French superstar started against Sevilla.
Mbappe teed up his strike partner Vinicius to send Madrid ahead in Andalusia, bringing down a cross which the Brazilian powered home.
