MADRID, 6 Mar. (EUROPA PRESS) –
FC Barcelona could be proclaimed champion of the Primera Iberdrola 2021-2022 next weekend after adding three new points against Deportivo Alavés Gloriosas (0-6), while behind the scenes the emotion continues to focus on the fight to access the Champions League led by Real Sociedad and Atlético de Madrid after their triumphs against Eibar (2-1) and UDG Tenerife (4-1), respectively, in matches corresponding to the twenty-third day of the championship.
The current champion continues with his full points this season and after achieving his twenty-third victory, he is only one point away from celebrating his third consecutive title. This objective has no signs of escaping and it is most likely that it will also be fulfilled in a visit as symbolic as that of Real Madrid.
The team coached by Jonatan Giráldez continues without giving too many concessions and did not have too many problems to defeat Deportivo Alavés Gloriosas at the hands of the young Claudia Pina, author of a hat-trick in a game sentenced to rest (0-4).
Behind, there is more emotion with the fight to play the next Champions League, a ‘battle’ in which Real Sociedad suffered and in which Atlético de Madrid regained third place before a key derby on Wednesday against Real Madrid.
The second-placed put an end to his losing streak of four games without winning in the derby against Eibar, although at times he planned the option of extending it. The armory team reached the 81st minute ahead thanks to a goal from Rachel Kudananji, but fell victim to the local comeback through Gemma Gili and Nerea Eizagirre in the 91st minute.
Natalia Arroyo’s team has a two-point advantage and one more game over Atlético de Madrid, who won the direct duel against UDG Tenerife with great clarity (4-1) to put an end to their rival’s good moment and snatch the third position.
Maitane López put the colchoneras ahead and although Cristina Martín-Prieto equalized before the half hour mark, the clash was decided when the first half was over. Estefanía Banini made it 2-1 in the 45th minute and before the break Cristina Cubedo was sent off, an inferiority against which a UDG could not overcome and that the locals did not waste to sentence with goals from Raheedat Ajibade and Amanda Sampedro, from a penalty .
In this way, Atlético leads the island team by two points and will face Wednesday’s postponed derby with a seven-point advantage over Real Madrid, which continues to rise and chained its seventh consecutive league victory after beating a direct rival 3-1 like Athletic Club, which is moving away from the fight for the Champions League, which now has nine points. Alberto Toril’s team won an even game thanks to goals from Athenea del Castillo and Nahikari García in the 71st and 86th minutes.
On the other hand, in the fight to avoid relegation, with Villarreal-Levante postponed due to the coronavirus, Madrid CFF took a breather and smiled again in the championship after beating Valencia 1-0 with Geyse Ferreira’s seventeenth league goal against break. Bottom player Rayo Vallecano makes survival much more difficult after failing to draw a goal against Sporting de Huelva and remains 13 points from safety. Finally, Sevilla and Betis signed a goalless draw in the derby that closed the day and was hosted by Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán.
