MADRID, 20 Mar. (EUROPA PRESS) –
Real Madrid confirmed its candidacy to play the next edition of the Champions League after winning 2-0 against a direct rival like UDG Tenerife, while Levante beat Villarreal 0-2 in postponed matches corresponding to matchdays 17 and 23 of the First Iberdrola 2021-2022.
The domestic championship took advantage of this weekend to recover matches that had to be postponed due to the coronavirus and the Madrid team did not fail in the acceleration they have given since the end of 2021 and that they had only stopped last Sunday in the duel against FC Barcelona.
But the team coached by Alberto Toril returned to the path of victory against their Alfredo Di Stéfano fans and against a UDG team that could not distance them in this European battle or rise to third position either.
