MADRID \u2014 Sevilla avoided relegation despite a 1-0 loss to Real Madrid at home in La Liga<\/a> on Sunday.<\/p>

Vin\u00edcius J\u00fanior scored for Madrid, which had already sealed second place. Barcelona clinched its second-consecutive league title<\/a> two rounds ago. The Catalan club hosts fifth-place Real Betis later Sunday in what will be Robert Lewandowski\u2019s last game at Camp Nou.<\/p>\n

Kylian Mbapp\u00e9 started for Madrid three days after saying coach \u00c1lvaro Arbeloa had made him the team\u2019s fourth-choice striker<\/a> . He came off the bench in the win at Oviedo on Thursday in what was his return from an injury layoff.<\/p>\n

It was a tight relegation fight coming into Sunday\u2019s matches and Sevilla secured its salvation thanks to other results. Alaves also guaranteed more top-tier soccer next season with a 1-0 win at already relegated Oviedo.<\/p>\n

Five teams will enter next weekend\u2019s final round looking to avoid the drop: Levante, Osasuna, Elche, Girona and Mallorca.<\/p>\n

Levante moved closer to safety with a 2-0 win over Mallorca and is 15th with 42 points, the same number of points as 16th-place Osasuna and 17th-place Elche.<\/p>

Osasuna lost 2-1 to Espanyol at home, while Elche beat 10-man Getafe 1-0.<\/p>\n

Inside the relegation zone are 17th-place Girona (40 points), second-to-last Mallorca (39) and Oviedo (29).<\/p>\n

Girona lost 1-0 at Atletico Madrid in what was a farewell match to home fans for Atletico forward Antoine Griezmann.<\/p>\n

The France forward, who is Atletico\u2019s all-time leading scorer, played his last home game before he joins Orlando City<\/a> in Major League Soccer next season.<\/p>\n

\u201cGriezmann is possibly the best one to have ever played here,\u201d Atletico coach Diego Simeone said. \u201cHe\u2019s an extraordinary guy, a genius. He\u2019s the most game-changing player that we\u2019ve coached here.\u201d<\/p>
