The rojiblancas host Sevilla today (12:00), that it would also deal a blow to this European struggle if it wins, with the obligation to win and wait for Granadilla does not do it against Villarreal (1:00 p.m.). This would be the only combination for the Madrid team to go to the national team break having regained control of third place.
If Atleti, who have not won for two games in a row, lose or draw and the Canary Islands win, the situation would remain the same, with a Granadilla that does not want to get off his European dream. This option, with Atleti losing or drawing, is the one desired by their pursuers in the table.
Athletic puts the unstoppable Barça to the test with its eye on Europe
As he Athletic, which receives (12:00 p.m.) the almighty and undefeated Barça, like Real Madrid, which visits Eibar (11:00 a.m.), They know that another puncture from the red and whites would make them stronger in the fight for the ticket to the Champions League, especially if they achieve a victory on this day.
A priori, White has it more affordable to score, taking into account his good dynamics after five wins in a row. However, the armory team also arrives at the event with great need, being able to get out of the relegation places after Sporting’s draw in the Andalusian derby.
For its part, La Real wants to meet again with the victory against Levante (11:00) after three games without winning: Real Madrid (1-3), Atleti (2-2) and Barça (1-9). The txuri-urdin team knows that another mistake can put them in trouble in a high area that, removing the undisputed Barça leader, is very exciting.
