Muriqi’s fantastic season is not enough for Mallorca, relegated from La Liga

Vedat Muriqi and Mallorca have failed to secure their survival in Spain’s top flight.

Mallorca’s 3-0 win over Real Oviedo on Saturday evening in the final round was not enough. Mallorca will compete in Spain’s second division next season.

Mallorca finishes the league in 18th place with 42 points.

Muriqi scored the third goal in the 88th minute in the win over Oviedo.

The Kosovo striker finishes the league as La Liga’s second-highest scorer with 23 goals. Muriqi has had a very good season, but his form was not enough to ensure Mallorca’s survival.

Alongside his 23 goals, 32-year-old Muriqi also contributed one assist. Only Kylian Mbappe scored more goals.

Girona were relegated along with Mallorca. Oviedo had secured their ticket to Spain’s second division earlier.
