Espanyol will be playing for all or nothing on the final matchday. After accumulating five consecutive defeats, the latest of which was at El Sadar, the Blue and Whites will need to match or better the result obtained by Leganés against Valladolid in the visit of the also relegated Las Palmas to the RCDE Stadium this Saturday (6:30 p.m., 3Cat). A priori, a favorable scenario, although managing anxiety will be key. A head-to-head match in which the fight for survival will be decided. A final in which Espanyol will be playing for a large part of its immediate and medium-term future.

It's time to fasten your seatbelt, because the end of the season will be one to remember. Barça defended the first position they had won just a week ago with a hard-fought victory at Las Palmas, a team that has recently specialised in kicking the blaugranas. As had happened against Alavés, they had to win without pleasing. In fact, the game was even uglier, until Lamine Yamal and Dani Olmo said enough after a grey, dark, desperate hour. Between them, they shed light on the game, lighting the way for a Barça that will be able to continue turning its head to see its opponents behind it, after having sentenced the game thanks to a goal from Ferran towards the end of the match.
