Luka Modrić looks like he can play into his 40s at Madrid.
It’s Leganés against Espanyol to avoid the drop - and the result could mean that one of Europe’s best young goalkeeper is for sale at a 50% discount.
And Celta, Rayo or Osasuna will nab the final European spot.
Don’t miss a minute of it!

0:05.0 | It's Monday morning. I'm in a beautiful spot. I'm about to have a... |
0:10.0 | It's called a Cheer Me Up. You'll see that in a minute. You've seen it before. |
0:15.0 | And I'm looking at the morning papers and Marca, the biggest selling one, |
0:20.0 | loudly celebrates Barcelona's title victory in the presentation of the trophy. |
0:25.6 | No, it's another bigger trophy, Mbapé, getting closer to being the Pichici, the leading scorer for La Liga. |

1:03.7 | It's like a mom or a dad feeding their kids, candy floss for a starter, maybe a Mars bar in the middle and then ice cream, rather |
