Osasuna's releagtion was confirmed after Leganes thrashed Las Palmas 3-0 at the Estadio Municipal de Butarque on Wednesday.

Osasuna were blitzed with four Barcelona goals in 10 second-half minutes as the Catalans stayed top of La Liga with a 7-1 victory at the Nou Camp.

It got even worse for Osasuna as shortly after their heavy loss their relegation was confirmed by Leganes 3-0 home win over Las Palmas.

A second-half double from Luciano Neves, the second from the penalty spot, either side of Miguel Guerrero's goal saw Leganes halt a four-game losing run and win for the first time in eight league matches.

Meanwhile, Real Sociedad kept alive their hopes of European football with a 3-2 victory at Valencia.

Diego Alves' first-minute own goal, a Willian Jose penalty and a Mikel Oyarzabal strike had Sociedad firmly in control at the midway point of the second half but quick-fire goals from Luis Nani, a penalty, and Simone Zaza set up a tense finale at the Mestalla.

Sociedad are up to sixth in the table after a third win in four games while Valencia are now without a win in three.
