An atypical season in which Real Madrid has been proclaimed champion. The positions to compete in the Europa League and the descent to Second agonizing.
Champions: Real Madrid, Barça, Atlético and Sevilla

However,
Barça have shown their worst season finale in their history.
The team led by Messi has not only been in low physical shape, but also emotionally. The disagreements between the players, the coach and the technical team and the management have taken their toll on the playing fields.
Third position is for Atlético de Madrid who will play the Champions League again next season. At the moment, Simeone’s team is preparing to return to Europe in August. Atlético de Madrid will face Leipzig in the semifinals.
Sevilla will play the Champions League next season for the fifth time in its history. Villarreal’s defeat against Real Sociedad secured fourth place for the team led by Julen Lopetegui.
Europa League: Villarreal, Real Sociedad and Granda
The Europa League will feature
Villarreal, Real Sociedad and Granada next edition.
Villarreal fell from playing the Champions League just two days before the end of the League. The defeat against Real Sociedad made him lose any option.
Real Sociedad gets sixth place in the League and their move to the Europa League. The last day was a heart attack for the whole of Imanol Alguacil. Thanks to a goal from Januzaj, four minutes from the end and Getafe’s draw in Valencia against Levante, they will be in Europe.
For the first time in its history, Granada will play the Europa League. The team has had a wonderful season and looks forward to continuing to cheer their fans. This strange season has ended over teams like Valencia or Athletic Bilbao.
Descent: Espanyol, Mallorca and Leganés
Santander League classification in the last places.
The joys of the teams that will play in Europe in the 2020/2021 season contrast with the disappointment of the teams that go down to second. Next season Espanyol, Mallorca and Leganés will be Second Division teams.
The parakeet has finished last in the table and is already preparing with determination its return to the maximum competition next year. The season has been disastrous for Espanyol. Of 35 days he has only managed five wins and nine draws. It is the fifth time that he ascends to hell and plays in the Second Division.
As a Second team,
RCD Mallorca must work and reinvent itself to build a competitive squad to fight to return to First. Some players such as the captain, Vicente Moreno, are expected to leave the club and especially the arrival of a new coach who gives hope to a team and a hobby broken by pain.
Leganés fought until the last minute against Real Madrid to stay in the First Division. They almost touched salvation, however, it could not be. The draw against the champion was not enough. Finally, Celta de Vigo achieved permanence and the Madrid team promoted.
