With only eight days ahead and 24 points at stake, it is clear who fights for what in this League. But much less does that mean that there are favorites to achieve the different objectives. All fronts (title, Europe and permanence) are in a fist, with hardly any distance, although with less involved. For this reason, there is almost no margin of error and each game is faced as a final, since there would even be positions that could be decided by the goal. There is no margin for COVID, since from this day games cannot be postponed in the event of an outbreak in a team and whoever does not appear for that reason will be given the shock for lost.
Madrid's victory in the Clásico and Atlético's draw at Villamarín give a new focus to the fight for the lead. Simeone's men remain in the lead with a point advantage over the whites and two over the Catalans. Atlético depends on itself, but there is a key date for the title fight, the duel against Barcelona on matchday 35. A victory for Simeone's men could separate Koeman's men from the fight and remain in a heads up with Madrid; In the event of a culé victory, Madrid could take the lead and Barcelona overtake Atlético.
But, with everything so tight, It may be the situation that LaLiga ends tied on points and it has to be decided by goalscoring. In that case, Real Madrid would be proclaimed champion by having won their direct confrontations with Atlético and Barcelona and the general among the three. In the event of a tie between rojiblancos and azulgrana, in the absence of the return at the Camp Nou, Atleti leaves with an advantage after Wanda's 1-0. In this fight, Sevilla also have options, which are covered, but they reach six points behind Atlético and they still have to face Madrid. Although, for now, he has lost the goal with all three.
This season he points out that there will be no fight for fourth place and it seems almost impossible that any team will snatch from Atlético, Real Madrid, Barcelona or Seville one of the tickets to play next season in the Champions League. If the fight to get into the Europa League is red hot, the LaLiga route will only give, in principle, a ticket (for the 5th classified) instead of two, and to the Conference League, the new European championship, which will play whoever is sixth.
This season to access Europa League must be fifth or win the Copa del Rey (option that Athletic has as a finalist). In the event that the lions fail to win the KO tournament, this would affect the First classification. In this case, in addition to the fifth classified, the sixth would also go to the Europa League, leaving the seventh place for the Conference League. What makes many teams in the upper-middle zone of the table go with Barcelona in the Cup final.
Real Sociedad (5th, with 47 points), Betis (6th, with 47 points) and Villarreal (7th, with 46) compete for these European places. Right now, until the end of the Cup final, the yellow submarine is the only one without a European ticket. Very far from the fight, but with mathematical options are Granada (39 points), Levante (38), Celta (37), Athletic (37) … Which are rather teams that are in no man's land. Far from Europe and the descent, but with options to finish in either of the two places, no matter how remote.
In case of ties to points or triple ties, The one that has it the best is Real Sociedad, then Betis and in a worse situation is Villarreal.
In Granada they still have hopes of achieving the sorpasso and getting into the fight for Europe in this final stretch and more if Athletic did not manage to win the Copa del Rey and the seventh place happened to have a European ticket. Granada, meanwhile, only has a direct duel against Betis. Meanwhile, one of the teams that would have more options to cut points is Celta, since they still have to face Real Sociedad, Betis and Villarreal in the remaining eight days.

Golaveraje del Celta
One of the most dramatic fights at the end of each season is to stay in First and avoid relegation. Normally, salvation is achieved around 38-40 points, those that are close to achieving those teams that we said were in no man's land: Celta (37), Athletic (37), Cádiz (35), Valencia ( 34) and Osasuna (34). With 24 points at stake, it would have to be very bad for them and very good for those who are down to fall to the hole.
Right now, Eibar (23), Alavés (24) and Elche (26) are in the relegation places. And very close to the abyss are Valladolid (27), Huesca (27) and Getafe (30). Ahead there are eight days with six direct duels between those involved:
