The penultimate matchday resolved all the pending issues in the League, so on the last matchday there will no longer be anything at stake. The last relegation place went to Cádiz, who needed the victory against Las Palmas to stay alive and could only draw goalless at Nuevo Mirandilla. Mauricio Pellegrino’s team accompanies Granada and Almería in relegation to the Second Division.
In the other games with relegation at stake, Celta did their homework by winning (1-2) against Granada with goals from Strand Larsen and Bamba in the second half while Mallorca could only draw (2-2) in Son Moix. For Javier Aguirre’s team, Larin and Darder scored while Almería’s goals were scored by Sergio Arribas and Langa.
Of the two Europa League places, one was already awarded to Athletic and the other remains for Real Sociedad, which was one point ahead of Betis and was able to win with ease at Villamarín (0-2). For Imanol Alguacil’s team, Brais Méndez and Merino scored in the first half.
Betis has the consolation of having secured the seventh place that entitles it to the Conference League because the tie between Villarreal and Real Madrid leaves Marcelino García Toral’s team four points below Pellegrini’s team.
The season ended badly for Atlético, who can no longer fight for third place after losing to Osasuna in the Metropolitano (1-4) and winning Girona in Mestalla (1-3) against Valencia, with Pipo Baraja’s team also closing. the season in a very bad way.
