As La Liga reaches its penultimate week AFP Sport looks at three hot topics in Spain this weekend.

FILE PHOTO: Soccer Football – La Liga Santander – FC Barcelona v Real Betis – Camp Nou, Barcelona, Spain – November 11, 2018 The match ball on display before the match REUTERS/Albert Gea/File PhotoReal Madrid have been crowned champions, Barcelona, Girona and Atletico have sealed Champions League qualification, while Almeria and Granada are down, but there are still some key issues to be resolved.

Real Sociedad snatched a 1-0 win against Valencia on Thursday to leapfrog Betis, which ensured they will compete in Europe for the fifth season running — what is yet to be confirmed is the competition. If Cadiz win that match they will have a chance of staying up on the final day of the season, even if they would still be relying on other results going their way to avoid the fate of Granada and Almeria.

The Catalan decided to stay at the helm despite initially announcing in January he would leave Barcelona and had been worn down by the job. The Barcelona chief is not the calmest character and stranger things have happened at the rollercoaster club than there being another twist in Xavi’s future.Even though Villarreal have underperformed and sit in mid-table, Norwegian striker Sorloth is in spectacular form. The striker has 19 goals, trailing La Liga’s top scorer Artem Dovbyk by one goal. Five of the Girona striker’s goals have come from the penalty spot, while none of Sorloth’s have.

Germany coach, Julian Nagelsmann, has announced his 27-man provisional squad for the Euro 2024 Championship with Borussia Dortmund’s Karim Adeyemi and Mats Hummels, as well as Bayern Munich’s Serge Gnabry conspicuously missing from the list.
