Although the declaration of intent has not finished being publicly resounding in this regard, it is understood that the passport to the Europa League is included within the ambition of this Real. The ticket for the Old Continent is certified, it remains to be seen in which tournament the ball of the Royal will come out of the hype.
The Europa League is two points away. In other words, a couple of draws in the remaining days will be enough to secure sixth place and appear de facto in the draw for the group stage of the old UEFA Cup. The victory against Cádiz also allows Real to continue aspiring to play fifth place against Betis, who are two points above. If Real beat Villarreal this Sunday, who thrashed Rayo 1-5, they will mathematically guarantee a Europa League spot. The match will be at 7:30 p.m., finally.
The draw can also serve, but we would have to wait for the last day to seal the Europa League. Adding a point at La Cerámica, another against Atlético de Madrid at Anoeta would validate sixth place, or even fifth if Betis punctures. Villarreal visits Barcelona after hosting Real.
A preview at the Conference
Losing at Villarreal could be dangerous, since Unai Emery’s team would match the 59 points that Real have. Everything would be at the expense of the final day, taking into account that the average plays a priori in favor of the submarine. The particular counts and they won 1-3 in Anoeta. La Real will play the Conference League if sixth place is big for them. In order to access the group stage of this new tournament, it would be necessary to overcome a preliminary round of two legs.
