**Barcelona** have one hand on the La Liga trophy after beating **Real Madrid** 4-3 in an El Clasico goalfest.
Barca went into the clash four points clear of their rivals and have now extended that to seven with only three games left, despite a hat-trick from Kylian Mbappe.
Real made a lightning start, Mbappe picking himself up to score from the penalty spot in the fifth minute after a foul by Wojciech Szczesny and then doubling the visitors' advantage nine minutes later.
But in the 19th minute Eric Garcia pulled one back and Lamine Yamal levelled with a curling effort with 32 minutes gone.
Barca were now firmly on the front foot and they went in at half-time 4-2 ahead, Raphinha seizing on a defensive mistake two minutes later and then netting the fourth just before the break.
Mbappe completed his treble with 20 minutes left but Real could not find an equaliser, while birthday boy Fermin Lopez had a late fifth for Barca disallowed for handball.
**Leganes** boosted their hopes of survival with a 3-2 victory over **Espanyol**, holding on despite a late comeback from the Catalan side.
Meanwhile, **Sevilla** have condemned fan behaviour after their players were forced to sleep at the club's training ground following "extreme violence" in reaction to [their 3-2 defeat by Celta Vigo on Saturday](https://www.rte.ie/sport/soccer/2025/0510/1512205-european-wrap-four-goal-sorloth-to-the-fore-for-atleti/).
The seven-time Europa League champions have endured another difficult season and sit 16th in La Liga, just four points above the relegation zone.
Footage on social media showed fans with pyrotechnics outside the training ground and the main gate being damaged.
The club said they "will pursue the public naming of employees and the dissemination of private data on social media and in the media, acts that constitute criminal offences".
A club statement read: "Sevilla understand the team's sporting situation, which is not what any Sevilla fan wants, may lead to protests, but under no circumstances will they be tolerated if they are accompanied by aggression, threats or acts of vandalism.
"Sevilla requests that the security forces and corps are as diligent as possible in order to get to the final perpetrators of these despicable acts, perpetrated by a gang of organised radicals who acted with extreme violence."
In Germany, **Borussia Dortmund** moved to within one point of the top four with a 4-2 victory over second-placed **Bayer Leverkusen**.
Jeremie Frimpong gave last year's Bundesliga champions the lead on the half-hour mark but Dortmund were ahead by half-time thanks to a quick response from Julian Brandt and a second from Julian Ryerson.
Karim Adeyemi added a third in the 73rd minute and Serhou Guirassy’s fourth made absolutely sure of the points before Jonas Hofmann pulled one back for Leverkusen in injury time.
In Serie A, **Verona** edged closer to safety after a 1-1 draw with **Lecce**, who remain deep in trouble, while already relegated **Monza** claimed just their third league win of the season, winning 2-1 at **Udinese** thanks to Keita Balde’s 90th-minute winner.
