Athletic crosses its fingers for Villarreal to lose today in Vallecas

Athletic no longer depended on itself to finish the League in seventh position before visiting Granada in Los Cármenes. Villarreal has one more point in the standings and today has the opportunity to increase the lead over the lions to four if they win their visit to Rayo de Andoni Iraola (20 hours).

The lions cross their fingers so that the Vallecano team defeats the yellow team and leaves the classification as it is with two days to go to finish the championship. The set of Marcelino has to receive Osasuna this coming Sunday and will close the League by facing Sevilla at the Sánchez Pizjuán, while those from Unai Emery they host Real Sociedad in a duel in which they can aspire to sixth position and on the last matchday they visit Barça at the Camp Nou.

Yesterday, the Hondarribia coach highlighted the importance of this afternoon’s clash after the 1-0 conceded by the rojiblancos against the Nasrids. “It’s a game in which we already played the objective, you can regret what you’ve lost, but this is the reality and we must fight for those objectives. The defeat of Athletic brings us closer to the Conference position and we are going to see if we can measure ourselves against Real in that Europa League objective”, he pointed out. Rayo also no longer plays anything after ensuring permanence a few games ago. Athletic does play a lot in the Vallecas game.
