Athletic was condemned to fight only for the Conference

Date:

Betis’ victory over Rayo on Monday at the Benito Villamarín in the game that closed the 34th day of the Liga made the battle for European places clear. Now it seems clear that the team of Verdiblanco and Villarreal will fight for the fifth and sixth positions that allow them to play in the Europa League next season with Real aiming for the Champions League as the fourth place. In this situation, Athletic is set to fight for the seventh place in the Conference after a bad run that occurred in the last four games, with three defeats and a draw.

The rojiblancos will have stiff competition with five other rivals. Girona starts with the advantage as they have a point higher than Valverde’s team, Osasuna and Sevilla, which has given an almost miraculous stretch since then. Jose Luis Mendilibar He took his bench. Behind is the Ray of Andoni Iraola with two units less than the Catalans and the last opponent in the battle is Mallorca with four less. The Balearic Islands have it the worst, although when it comes to a virtual stay they certainly have nothing to lose.

Athletic lost on average in Girona after receiving 2-1 in Montilivi and 2-3 in San Mamés and Sevilla (1-1 in Sánchez Pizjuán and 0-1 in Bilbao); won with Madrid (3-2 and 0-0 in Vallecas) and kept pace with those led by ‘Vasco’ Aguirre after draws (0-0 and 1-1) added in the first and second rounds. The corresponding one with Osasuna will be explained on Thursday, May 25 at El Sadar. The event in San Mamés closed with a level score (0-0).

Below is the schedule for each of these teams towards the continental goal. The result will take place on Sunday, June 4, the day on which the dispute is scheduled on the last page of the calendar.

7th GIRONA 48 points

Pretty tough schedule

Girona is the team that starts with the advantage in the standings because they have one point more than Athletic, Osasuna and Sevilla and they also won the particular average with the rojiblancos, but their calendar seems a bit complicated a priori. This coming weekend, they host Villarreal, who want to speed up their chances of securing a place in the Champions League -five points away from fourth place-, then visit Celta, a rival that has not yet sealed safety, and closed the season on the receiving end. Betis and visiting Osasuna, a direct rival. The season of the team led by Míchel was amazing. It should not be forgotten that he returned this course to the First Division

8th ATHLETIC 47 points

Saturday’s appointment against Celta is important

Athletic will start the final sprint of the League hosting Celta in San Mamés this Saturday starting at twelve in the afternoon, a rival that needs to be increased in order not to complicate life after receiving three consecutive defeats at their hands was living peacefully the last meeting. Then it’s time to face Osasuna at El Sadar, an important rivalry for Europe, and close the course against two rivals who don’t play anything anymore, Elche and Real Madrid, although you always have to be careful of this kind of occasion. The people from Elche beat Atlético the other day and won at the Bernabéu we already know how difficult it is

9th OSASUNA 47 points

The rojillos have two direct rivalries

Jagoba Arrasate’s team continued to pulse in the competition despite losing the Cup final. The rojillos visit Atlético next Sunday, a rival fighting with its neighbors for the second position – sports prestige and more economic loot -, then receive Athletic, visiting Getafe, a team in rejection that is possible risk their lives at stake, and close the season with Girona at El Sadar in a match where the last European place is at stake. In any case, the merit of Navarrese is enormous in the hands of a coach who aims so high in the Spanish League. Sometimes

10th SEVILLE 47 points

A tough start to LaLiga’s final sprint

José Luis Mendilibar performed a miracle in Sevilla. The coach of Zaldibar took an almost sinking team and raised it to the tenth position with options to qualify for Europe, something that no one would bet on, in addition to having him on the verge of playing in Europa League final after last week’s 1 -1 draw in Turin in the first leg of the semifinal against Juventus. The Sevillians start the final stretch with hard bones, the derby against Betis at home, then visit relegated Elche, welcome Real Madrid and put the finishing touches on Real Sociedad at Sánchez Pizjuán, an undoubtedly complicated commitment to close 22-23 campaign

11th RAY 46 points

The loss against Betis complicates things for them

Rayo are coming off of Monday’s loss against Betis at Villamarín. The Madrid side closed the gap in the second half, but the Verdiblancos did not lose. This Sunday they welcome Espanyol, a team risking their lives not to be relegated, in the next match they visit Santiago Bernabéu and to finish they have Villarreal in Vallecas and Mallorca in Son Moix. Andoni Iraola’s team managed to keep the class in the second round of the League, something that did not happen last season. They still keep all their options two points away from Girona, a rival with whom they have an equal average

12th MALLORCA 44 points

The Balearic Islands have not yet said the last word

Javier Aguirre’s team is the last team in the ‘other’ League, that of the teams fighting for seventh place in the Conference. The Balearic Islands achieved virtual permanence on Friday with a victory over Cádiz (1-0) and now they play with the peace of mind that comes from a good job in nine months of competition. In the next two days they will face the two teams playing for the permanent, Almería in the Mediterranean Games and Valencia in Son Moix, then they visit a Barça who are already champions of the League and to close the course they have direct a priori lightning duel . In the first round they won 0-2 in Vallecas
