Malaga rounded off the campaign in style by recording their biggest victory of the season, a 4-1 thrashing of Las Palmas.
Willian Jose swiftly cancelled out Duje Cop's opener but striker Charles restored their lead before the break from the penalty spot and completed the rout after Christian Atsu had added the third, the first time Malaga had scored four goals in a game since 26 October 2014.
Malaga finish the season in eighth place on 48 points, four ahead of Las Palmas, who failed to win any of their last three games after sealing survival.
Las Palmas nearly took an early lead when Willian Jose hit the post but it was Malaga who went ahead, when Croatian forward Cop glanced Miguel Torres' cross into the near corner to score a seventh goal in his debut campaign in Spain.
Willian Jose compensated for his earlier miss by getting a crucial touch on Tana's low cross to divert the ball in from close range, but Malaga were awarded a penalty in injury time at the end of the half for a handball by Mauricio Lemos, and Chales did not pass up the opportunity.
Chelsea loanee Atsu scored the best goal of the game to seal the points for Malaga, cutting inside from the right and beating a defender before slamming the ball in off the post.
And with four minutes remaining Charles slid in to convert substitute Duda's cross and round off the scoring.
