May 25, 2025 / 6:59 PM

Sharjah 24 – AFP: Atletico Madrid closed out their La Liga season with a dominant 4-0 victory over Girona on Sunday, wrapping up the 38th and final round of the Spanish top-flight league.

Second-half surge seals the win

After a goalless first half, Diego Simeone’s side erupted in the second half with four unanswered goals. Norwegian striker Alexander Sørloth led the charge with a hat-trick, scoring in the 68th, 90th, and 90+3rd minutes—bringing his season total to 20 goals and placing him fourth in the league’s scoring charts.

Lenglet adds to the tally

French defender Clément Lenglet contributed the third goal in the 87th minute, further cementing Atletico's dominant performance.

Final standings and implications

The result had little impact on the standings, with Atletico Madrid securing third place with 76 points. Girona, despite the heavy defeat, retained their top-flight status, finishing 16th with 41 points. However, their position could drop to 17th depending on Sevilla’s result against Villarreal.

Other matches to watch

Later in the day, Athletic Bilbao are set to host league champions Barcelona in another high-profile clash to conclude the season.
