The final curtain will drop in La Liga this weekend, with nine exciting games to keep an eye on during the weekend as the Spanish top-flight prepares to see Real Madrid trying to defend their pride in the UEFA Champions League.
Last week, all major battles in the league were sorted out. Barcelona secured the second spot, while all the tickets to play in Europe next season were handed out. Additionally, the relegation battle came to an end as Cádiz confirmed their exit from La Liga, ending their struggle with Mallorca and Celta following last week's draw for Los Gaditanos.
With that in mind, let us give you a glimpse of what will go down in the Spanish tournament in a weekend where all the teams will only be preserving their pride ahead of the 2024-25 season.

Real Sociedad vs Atlético Madrid - Atlético will bid farewell to another season where they failed to win any silverware, but they will do so facing one of the teams with the most interesting styles in Spanish football.

Real Madrid vs Real Betis - The La Liga champions bid farewell to an impressive campaign, which saw Jude Bellingham become the team's go-to guy. Additionally, this will also be a day to remember for all fans, as Toni Kroos will say goodbye to the Bernabeu days after announcing his retirement. As for Betis, Los Verdiblancos will want to end the season on a high note, which could only mean ending their ongoing two-game run without a win.
[MATCH 4678654]
Sevilla vs Barcelona - A complicated season for Sevilla will come to an end this weekend, and curiously, their match will be the final one in La Liga. Los Hispalenses get to this game after three straight losses, meaning that a win here would be a morale boost for Quique Sánchez Flores and his crew. On the other side of the pitch, Barcelona will also be saying goodbye to Xavi Hernández, who will not be their coach next season after failing to lead them to win any silverware. None of these clubs will remember this season fondly, but a win here would be a good way to start fresh ahead of the upcoming campaign.
