Celta Vigo managed to widen the gap from the relegation zone by earning a crucial 3-2 victory over Villarreal, with Anastasios Douvikas scoring a late winner. This win puts them eight points clear of the drop zone with only four matches left in the season. On the other hand, Granada found themselves in a tough situation after suffering a 3-0 defeat to Sevilla, leaving them 11 points away from safety and almost confirming their relegation.
Granada’s situation seems dire as they are on the brink of joining Almeria in the second division next season. Meanwhile, Cadiz, who are in the 18th position, are still fighting for survival and have a slim chance of avoiding relegation.
In other La Liga matches, Alaves dealt a blow to Valencia’s hopes of securing a spot in Europe next season with a 1-0 victory, leaving Valencia in the eighth position. Real Betis, currently in the seventh spot, won 2-0 against Osasuna, extending their lead over Valencia to five points in the race for European football. With Athletic Bilbao already securing a Europa League spot as Copa del Rey champions, a top-seven finish will guarantee European competition for Real Betis.
Overall, the battle for survival and European spots in La Liga is intensifying as the season nears its end. Celta Vigo’s crucial win has put them in a more comfortable position, while Granada’s struggles continue as they face the looming threat of relegation.
