Match round-up - First Division, Day 36 (remaining games)
Real Sociedad and Valencia are still neck-and-neck in the fight for the fourth Champions League spot after both won their respective matches on Saturday evening. Valencia kicked off first with a 0-1 victory at Getafe which momentarily took them above their rivals, Mathieu getting the only goal after a set-piece free kick just before the break. But later in the evening Real Sociedad came back from a goal down to beat Sevilla 1-2, Rakitic scoring at both ends before Agirretxe volleyed home the winner midway through the first half. The two teams are now level on points, and after today's results cannot be reached by anyone else, with the Basque side having the edge on the head-to-head record. One other match on Saturday in the top flight, with Granada beating relegation rivals Osasuna 3-0 to virtually ensure their safety for another season. El-Arabi opened the scoring in the first half, and a Siqueira penalty and a Buonanotte strike late on wrapped things up for the Andalusians. (12.05.13)
Copa del Rey final
Real Madrid 1 - Atlético Madrid 2 (after extra time)
Atlético Madrid are this season's Copa del Rey champions after they beat Real Madrid 1-2 in the Bernabeu stadium on Friday evening!

Under 20 friendly international
Spain 3 - Paraguay 1
A last friendly match for Spain's under 20 side before their final squad for this summer's youth World Cup is announced, Julen Lopetegui's side running out 3-1 winners over Paraguay in Benidorm's Guillermo Amor stadium. Isra headed the opener from a wide free kick by Liverpool's Suso, and although the Sevilla defender gave away a penalty which Matías Pérez converted, Deulofeu got on the end of Jesé's cross to restore the lead on the stroke of half time. There were the usual round of substitutions after the restart, and with the game coming to an end Bernat controlled a ball over the top from Saúl to score the third from a wide angle. (14.05.13)
Match round-up - First Division, Day 35
Real Sociedad are back up to fourth in the table after a 2-2 draw with Granada in the Monday night game, although they will be disappointed with the result as the Andalusians equalised with virtually the last kick of the match. Agirretxe headed the locals in to the lead early on from a Chory Castro free kick, and although El-Arabi levelled the scores soon afterwards, Agirretxe got on the end of Vela's cross to put his team back in front on the stroke of half time. Agirretxe and Vela both rattled the upright in the second half, but the visitors came back strongly in the last twenty minutes, and in the third minute of injury time Recio beat Bravo at the second attempt to earn a vital point which takes Lucas Alcaraz's side four points above the drop zone.

Match round-up - First Division, Day 36 (Games brought forward due to Cup Final)
Barcelona are not able to celebrate the league title just yet after Real Madrid beat Málaga 6-2 on Wednesday evening. Had Mourinho's side dropped points in this match brought forward from day 36, they would not have been able to catch their arch-rivals in the table. However they took the lead in only the second minute when Albiol headed in a Modric corner, and although Santa Cruz made it all square following an Isco corner a quarter of an hour later, strikes by Ronaldo and Özil around the half hour mark put the locals back in front. Before that though the visitors were left with ten men when Sergio Sánchez was sent off for giving away a penalty on Ronaldo, and although Caballero stuck out a foot to save Ronaldo's spot kick, the impact forced him off the field with an ankle injury before the break. Pellegrini's side didn't give up immediately though, Antunes getting one back with an impressive shot from outside of the area. But Ronaldo set up Benzema for a fourth goal on the stroke of half time, and Modric made it five with a long shot in off the post midway through the second half. Then with a quarter of an hour to go Demichelis followed Sánchez down the tunnel after picking up a second booking, and Di María beat replacement keeper Kameni in injury time to complete the "set".

Champions League, semi-final, second leg
There will be an all-German final for the first time ever after Bayern Munich beat Barcelona 0-3 in the Nou Camp to clock up a humiliating 7-0 aggregate scoreline. With Messi not fit enough to start, this was always going to be an uphill battle, but when Robben beat Valdés to open the scoring early on in the second half it was all over. Piqué turned Ribéry's cross in to his own net a few minutes later and Müller headed a third, but by then Barcelona had given up. (01.05.13)
Real Madrid were just a goal short of turning around their semi-final tie against Borussia Dortmund, a 2-0 victory in the Bernabeu stadium not quite enough to overturn the 4-1 defeat from the first leg. Mourinho's side failed to convert several chances in the opening quarter of an hour, and although Benzema and Sergio Ramos both scored in the last ten minutes, the goals came too late to change the result.
