The European race in LALIGA EA SPORTS has been absolutely fascinating this season, with so many teams involved and with eight European tickets confirmed, thanks to Spanish clubs’ performance in UEFA competitions this season. There is just one matchday remaining and three clubs are fighting over the final two European spots, desperate to join FC Barcelona, Real Madrid, Atlético de Madrid, Athletic Club, Villarreal CF and Real Betis, who have all already confirmed their European place for next season.
RC Celta (7th, 52 points)
In recent years, RC Celta were usually involved in the relegation battle at this stage of the season. It’s a very different situation this campaign, though, with coach Claudio Giráldez having done a terrific job so far. Despite losing to European rivals Rayo Vallecano last matchday, RC Celta remain in pole position to clinch one of the remaining two European tickets, and a win away at Getafe CF on Saturday will confirm their return to Europe after eight years.
Remaining fixture: Getafe CF (A)
Rayo Vallecano (8th, 51 points)
Fans of Rayo Vallecano have dreamed of European qualification on occasion over the past few seasons, and they still have a chance this year entering the final matchday. Los Franjirrojos have won three and drawn one of their past four matches, with those 10 points putting them in a great position. Currently eighth, Rayo Vallecano hold the final European spot.
Remaining fixture: RCD Mallorca (H)
CA Osasuna (9th, 51 points)
On 51 points, CA Osasuna are still a contender to qualify for Europe as well. In his first season in the dugout, new coach Vicente Moreno has done an excellent job and the team is winning matches, led by striker Ante Budimir, who is the third-top scorer in the entire division. They enter the final matchday level on points with Rayo Vallecano and just one behind RC Celta, ready to pounce if the Galician or Madrid clubs slip up.
Remaining fixture: Deportivo Alavés (A)
