In the absence of the two games postponed for the Cup final (Barcelona-Granada and Athletic-Valladolid), there are only seven days left to be disputed and 21 points at stake. With several direct confrontations, the LaLiga fronts remain unclear and even tighten. Sevilla fully joins the fight for the leadership and even more after Madrid's stumbling block, the one in Europe is pending for Granada to play its pending game and with the respite that it has one more place to go to Europe now that has not been achieved in the Cup, and the permanence becomes even more red-hot.
The victories of Atlético and Sevilla and the stumble of Madrid warm the head of the classification. The rojiblancos march first with 70 points, three ahead of the whites, five over Barcelona (with one game less) and six over Sevilla. Atlético is the only one that depends on itself. Yes indeed, there is a key date for the title fight. It's about matchday 35, when there are two direct duels. The main one, the one who will measure Atlético and Barcelona. On the other hand, there will also be a duel between the two applicants: Real Madrid-Seville. Two games that could increase the options of two of the opponents to the title and erase two others from the game.

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.
With the top four immersed in the fight for the title, this season points to no fight for fourth place and, therefore, to get into Champions positions. Atlético, Madrid, Barcelona and Seville aim to award them without any opposition. But the fight to go to Europe will be present for the Europa League and Conference League tickets. The latter is the new European competition that will be played from next season.
Barcelona's victory over Athletic in the final of the Copa del Rey has given more excitement to the fight for European tickets in LaLiga. The champion of the KO tournament is awarded a ticket to the Europa League, but when the Catalans win the title and have a ticket to the Champions League, the Europa League ticket is obtained via the League. In this way, now the 5th and 6th classified enter the second international competition and the 7th will get into the Conference League. Although this could become even more complicated if Villarreal win the Europa League, and the submarine ends up in the League in European positions. As this has not happened yet, we focus on the option that is handled now: 5th and 6th go to the Europa League and 7th to the Conference.

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 get into the fight for Europe in this final stretch and more since the seventh place has 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.
