In the Spanish La Liga championship on Saturday, four matches of the 36th round were played. An unexpected result was recorded in the Catalan capital, where local team Espanyol punished Madrid's Atletico footballers. Nevertheless, Diego Simeone's team no longer has any significance in this defeat. Espanyol took the lead at the end of the first half when Diego Godin scored an own goal. In the second half, Borja Iglesias scored a double to secure a stunning victory for the hosts. With 74 points, Atletico will neither rise nor fall in the standings. This was the 12th victory for Espanyol this season. In other matches from the previous round, Real Madrid's Rayo Vallecano was defeated, officially dropping out of the competition after this season. In the Basque derby, Alaves lost at home to Real Sociedad. In the last game of the night, already crowned champions Barcelona faced Celta Vigo on the road. Playing without their key players, Barcelona acknowledged the superiority of the hosts. In the second half, Maxi Gomez put Celta ahead, and Iago Aspas increased the lead at the end of the match.
