The last day of the League, live | At stake the five games that determine salvation

The Spanish League comes to an end this Sunday with the dispute of day 38. With the championship, the Champions League positions and the Europa League positions already decided, the incentives of this date are two places: the one that gives access to the Conference League (which Osasuna, Girona, Athletic and Rayo are fighting for) and the last relegation one (which Cádiz, Valencia, Getafe, Almería, Celta and Valladolid are fighting to avoid). The matches will be played in two time slots. At 6:30 p.m., the teams from the upper area play. Benzema has said goodbye to the Santiago Bernabéu at Real Madrid-Athletic after announcing his departure after 14 years in white. The Frenchman scored a penalty before being substituted, in the draw (1-1) for Ancelotti’s side. Osasuna has qualified for the Conference League after defeating Girona (2-1) and returns to Europe 16 years later. Atlético de Madrid was unable to take second place from Madrid after drawing (2-2) at Villarreal. Real Sociedad closed the season in style by beating Sevilla (2-1) and Mallorca beat Rayo (3-0). At 9:00 p.m., it is up to the six teams that play permanence. Valladolid would accompany Elche and Espanyol to the second division right now, but they are playing it at home against a direct rival like Getafe. The next most likely to be relegated is Celta, who faces champion Barça in their fiefdom. Almería and Cádiz seek to seal their salvation against Espanyol and Elche respectively. For its part, Valencia visits the field of Betis, which does not play anything either.

These are the live matches of the fight for salvation:

Valladolid – Getafe (0-0)

The pucelanos begin the day in relegation places and face a direct rival, whom they would surpass in the standings just by winning.

Celtic – Barcelona (0-0)

Celta has starred in a free fall in the second round that leaves them on the brink of the abyss if they fail to prevail against the already champion Barça.

Betis – Valencia (1-0)

Valencia seeks to seal salvation in the field of Betis, that nothing is at stake on Joaquín’s last day. Ayoze put the Béticos ahead after a minute of the game.

Espanyol – Almeria (1-1)

Almería needs to win in the field of the already relegated Espanyol to ensure another year in the elite. The Andalusians took the lead early through Elbilal, but Puado immediately equalized with a great goal.

Elche – Cádiz (0-1)

Cádiz is the one that has the best of those involved in the fight for relegation. With 41 points, he visits the field of bottom club Elche. A shot from Fede that bounced off Escalante set the goal for the people from Cádiz.
