Athletic no longer relied on themselves to finish the League in seventh position before visiting Granada in Los Cármenes. Villarreal has another point in the standings and now has a chance to increase the Lions ’advantage to four if they win their visit to Rayo de Andoni Iraola (20 hours).
The Lions crossed their fingers to let Vallecano’s team beat the yellow team and leave the classification as there were still two days to finish the championship. The set of Marcellin will have to accept Osasuna next Sunday and close the League by facing Sevilla in Sánchez Pizjuán, while those from Unai Emery they host Real Sociedad in a duel where they can aim for sixth position and on the last day of the match they visit Barça at Camp Nou.
Yesterday, the Hondarribia coach stressed the importance of this afternoon’s clash after the 1-0 the rojiblancos received against Nasrids. “It’s a game where we’ve played goal, you can regret what you lost, but it’s the truth and we have to fight for those goals. Athletic’s defeat brings us closer to the Conference position and we will see if we can measure ourselves against Real in that Europa League goal, ”he pointed out. Rayo is also no longer playing anything after ensuring permanence a few games ago. Athletic plays a lot in the Vallecas game.
