Day number 36 of the Liga is coming to an end and offers ideas in all areas of the table. The verdicts are already starting to arrive and there are three main ones: champion Barcelona, relegated Real Oviedo and the participants in the next Champions League. In addition to the leaders, Real Madrid, Atlético and Villareal there is a surprise, Betis Seville.
Il Betis torna in Champions League
21 years after the last qualification for the top European competition, it is official: Real Betis will return to play in the Champions League. What was decisive was the green-and-whites' victory over Elche 2-1, scored by Cucho Hernandez and Pablo Fornals. The goal achieved by Manuel Pellegrini's men was unthinkable until a few seasons ago, but now it has become reality. The qualification is the culmination of a path of constant growth in recent years. But now comes the most difficult part for the Andalusians: building a squad suitable and prepared for the Champions League to try to at least reach the playoffs.
Lotta salvezza, colpaccio di Levante e Alavés. Ma rischiano ancora in 12
The fight to avoid relegation in the Spanish championship is certainly the most spectacular in Europe. With two days to go, the first team arithmetically safe is Getafe, seventh in the standings: this means that 12 teams out of the 13 remaining risk dropping to the Segunda División (Real Oviedo has already been relegated). In these ranking areas we have seen some interesting shots. Levante reached 39 points by beating Celta Vigo 2-3, while Alavés defeated champion Barcelona, leaving the red zone. Sevilla need 3 points in two games after the victory in this round against Villareal, while Elche and Mallorca are at risk, both losing.
