Jürgen Klopp's side secured fourth spot in the Premier League – and a return to the UEFA Champions League group stage next season – after a comfortable win on the final day. Mohamed Salah got the ball rolling with a record-breaking effort, notching his 32nd goal in the elite this term – beating the previous best for a 38-game season of 31 set by Alan Shearer, Cristiano Ronaldo and Luis Suárez.

The Reds were not finished there, and they doubled their lead before half-time via a Dejan Lovren header. Dominic Solanke and Andy Robertson then hit their first goals for the club after the break to ensure a successful day for Liverpool in their 1,000th Premier League match.

Zinédine Zidane opted to rest captain Sergio Ramos while Cristiano Ronaldo remained sidelined by a sprained ankle, but his Madrid side responded with their joint biggest victory of the season in their final home game. Gareth Bale scored the first two – the Welshman now has four goals in his last four matches – with Isco making it 3-0 in the 32nd minute, his second club strike since 3 February.

Nineteen-year-old defender Acharaf Hakimi added a fourth, his second effort for Madrid, before a Sergi Gómez own goal and Toni Kroos completed the win. It was the German's fifth Liga goal of the season, his best haul since moving to Madrid in 2014.
