With the La Liga title already secured by Barcelona and Champions League spots finalized, attention turns to the intense battle to avoid relegation. Real Oviedo's fate is sealed, but no other team in the league's bottom half is mathematically safe from dropping divisions with only two rounds left.

Only six points are left to be contested, and a mere five points separate Rayo Vallecano in 10th from Mallorca and Levante, who are struggling in 18th and 19th place. All matches in Round 37 will kick off simultaneously this Sunday, with the most crucial game being Mallorca's visit to Levante.

Players such as Mallorca's Vedat Muriqi and Atletico's Antoine Griezmann will command attention, as well as Robert Lewandowski's final performance at Camp Nou. With injuries sidelining figures like Lamine Yamal, more drama unfolds as the season edges towards its grand finale.
