After a vibrant day with nine simultaneous games and the excitement of being all at stake, LaLiga Santander still awaits many things to play ahead of the last date. Next Sunday, the title, already owned by the Real Madrid. Nor the classification for the Champions, with Barcelona, Athletic of Madrid and Seville with reserved ticket. The rest will be chosen based on the results that occur in a last almost simultaneous day. The places for the Europa League and the final relegation places will be defined after it. This is the situation right now:
Title: Real Madrid is champion
Zidane's men have conquered their 34th League, after beating Villarreal at Alfredo Di Stéfano. Arnaiz's goal at the Camp Nou already gave the Whites the title, which, to ensure, they went for the game. Karim Benzema's goal left LaLiga for sentencing and then ended it with a penalty. In the absence of a day, Madrid has 86 points and is crowned champion after signing a clean postconfinition and a seven point advantage with its main rival. Of course, he will repeat experience in the maximum continental competition.
Champions: Barcelona, Atlético and Sevilla, classified
It was already known before the dispute of the current day. Barcelona gets into second place, although Madrid's defeat and triumph deprive them of a title option. Atlético de Madrid and Sevilla follow, brilliant after the restart. After the elimination of the previous round in the five major leagues, third and fourth place are irrelevant. In this way, those of Simeone and those of Lopetegui meet objectives and, still alive in European competitions, will try to return to Spain with the cup in the month of August.
Europa League: dozens of possibilities
Up to a total of six teams reached the penultimate day with options to sleep in Europa League positions. The day has resolved practically nothing, except that Villarreal is mathematically a European competition team. Getafe could tie him for seventh position, but the 'goal average' is favorable to 'Submarino'. That is, in no case will the League finish in seventh place and, therefore, you will not have to play a previous round.
Real Sociedad, Getafe, Valencia and Granada will play the remaining two places on the last day. They are harmed in case of ties Athletic and Osasuna, who are three points from seventh place, but in no case have mathematical options of finishing the last date on it. Thus, those of Alguacil (55) and those of Bordalás (54) start with an advantage over their rivals, who are tied at 53 in the box.
According to Fran Martínez on Twitter, Real Sociedad is victorious 83.95% of the time. Getafe, meanwhile, would achieve the European position in 65.43% of cases. Valencia and Granada settle for 25.93 and 22.22% chances.
Real Sociedad: 5th with 55
-He gets into Europe if he wins. Also if it ties and Valencia and Granada do not win. He has the 'goal average' lost with Getafe, tied with Granada and won against Valencia. The triple tie with Granada and Valencia favors him.
-Your rival is Atlético de Madrid.
Getafe: 6th with 54
-He gets into Europe if he wins. Also if it ties and Valencia and Granada do not win. Or if he loses and so do his pursuers. He has the 'goal average' won with Real, Valencia and Granada. Therefore, it benefits from all ties.
-Your rival is Levante.
Valencia: 7th with 53
-If you don't win, you're out of European positions. If it does, it also falls if Real Sociedad and Getafe win. He has the 'goal average' lost with the Bordalás team.
-Your rival is Sevilla.
Granada: 8th with 53
-If you don't win you are also left out of the Europa League. Like Valencia, it will also be out if it wins and so do Real and Getafe. To make matters worse, he has the 'goal average' lost with Valencia.
-Your rival is Athletic.
Descent: Mallorca returns to the Second Division; Celta and Leganés will play it
Although they were reborn when they seemed doomed, Leganés and Mallorca faced the day four points behind their pursuers, which implied that they needed to win and that their rivals did not do it to have mathematical possibilities for the last day. There were times when they were very much alive. For example, when in the first half Mallorca was ahead and Celta fell at home or when Lega was seen more than a part against ten by the expulsion of Unai Simón. Finally, the pepinero team took advantage of the red to win in San Mamés and turn the descent upside down.
Alavés won at Benito Villamarín and is saved mathematically. He Majorca, who lost against Granada at home, says goodbye to Primera just a year after achieving promotion. It is therefore pending between Celta and Leganés. The vigueses lost in Balaídos, despite playing a good time against Levante with ten. So that, they are left with 36 points, compared to 35 for 'Lega'.
The tie on points between the two favors those of Óscar García, because they have the 'goal average' tiedBut the overall goal difference is considerably better for them. Thus, Leganes needs to win their match against Real Madrid and Celta not win against Espanyol. It is the only account that is worth to the Aguirre team, which has gone from being practically in Second to reaching the last day very alive. Of course, both play against teams with nothing to dispute.
Mathematical possibilities
–Celta is saved if they win. Also if Leganés ties and does not win. He descends if he does not win and Leganés does against Real Madrid.
–Leganés is saved if he wins and Celta does not. If he tied or lost he would be in Second. It is possible that he will draw and be saved. For this, Celta must be thrashed by nine or more of difference.
–The 'goal average' is tied. The criterion to follow is, therefore, the overall goal difference. Celta is -12 and Lega is -21. Thus, except in extraordinary and improbable cases, Celta would remain in First in the event of a general tie on points.
