With just five matchdays remaining in LaLiga EA Sports this season, the race for qualification to the 2024/25 UEFA tournaments is heating up. Let's check out how each club from fourth-placed Atletico de Madrid to ninth-placed Villarreal CF is doing in this exciting race.
Atletico de Madrid (4th, 64 points)
With a spot in Europe for next season secured, Diego Simeone has no time to relax his trot. The recent 3-1 win over Athletic Club means there is still much to do in the remaining five matches.
Upcoming matches: RCD Mallorca (Away), RC Celta (Home), Getafe CF (Away), CA Osasuna (Home), Real Sociedad (Away)
Athletic Club (5th, 58 points)
With the Copa del Rey already in their pocket, Athletic Club will be taking on European football next season. While Europa League is a sure thing, Ernesto Valverde's side aims to push for Champions League for this incredible season.
Upcoming matches: Getafe CF (Away), CA Osasuna (Home), RC Celta (Away), Sevilla FC (Home), Rayo Vallecano (Away)
Real Sociedad (6th, 51 points)
Real Sociedad currently stands at the Europa League position but wants to be better than that. With the stiff competition that looms ahead of them, hopes for Champions League are left in the dust. Nevertheless, they want to hold on to their sixth place, especially with Real Betis breathing down their neck.
Upcoming matches: UD Las Palmas (Home), FC Barcelona (Away), Valencia CF (Home), Real Betis (Away), Atlético de Madrid (Home)
Real Betis (7th, 49 points)
Under Manuel Pellegrini, Real Betis hopes to make it four seasons in a row in Europe. The recent win over Valencia CF sees them remain seventh but with a Real Betis on their heels, they stay tense.
Upcoming matches: CA Osasuna (Away), RCD Espanyol (Home), Girona FC (Away), SD Eibar (Home), Real Valladolid CF (Away)
Valencia CF have lost the places for the cups just recently, but it is not too late, nor impossible, for a revival. This is especially so since Valencia CF have two games in a row at home.
Upcoming fixtures: Deportivo Alaves (Home), Rayo Vallecano (Home), Real Sociedad (Away), Girona FC (Home), RC Celta (Away)
Villarreal CF (9th, 45 points)
Villarreal CF has played worse recently, but they should never be underestimated by sorrowful Alexander Sorloth leading their line.
Upcoming fixtures: RC Celta (Away), Sevilla FC (Home), Girona FC (Away), Real Madrid (Home), CA Osasuna (Away)
