UD Levante (16th place) and CA Osasuna (17th place) both finished on 42 points after defeats, with Mallorca (18th) also reaching the same tally but coming off worse in the three-way comparison. German international goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen had joined Girona on loan in winter but made only two appearances for the club due to a serious thigh injury.
Record champions Real Madrid ended a thoroughly mixed season — marked by the departures of Dani Carvajal, David Alaba and unsuccessful coach Alvaro Arbeloa — with a positive result. In a 4:2 (2:1) win over Athletic Bilbao, stars Jude Bellingham (41st) and Kylian Mbappé (51st) among others scored to boost their confidence ahead of their World Cup campaigns with England and France respectively. Real were clearly outclassed by FC Barcelona in the title race, finishing the season as runners-up eight points adrift. Barca lost 1:3 (0:0) at FC Valencia in their final match.
