Valencia comes from a 4-2 away defeat to Barcelona. The hosts were superior and won fairly, ending the match with 80% ball possession. Fermin Lopez scored the first goal in the 22nd minute, but the Bats equalized in the 27th minute with Duro, who took advantage of an incredible mistake by goalkeeper Stegen. Valencia completed the turnaround before the end of the first half when Pelelu scored the second goal in the 38th minute. However, the balance shifted in injury time of the first half when the visitors’ goalkeeper, Mamardashvili, was sent off.

The second half belonged entirely to Barcelona, ​​which equalized in the 49th minute with Lewandowski and continued to create and miss chances until the last ten minutes. Then, taking advantage of the numerical advantage that exhausted the visitors, Barcelona scored with Lewandowski in the 82nd minute, making it 3-2, and the same player closed the score in injury time.

Missing from the squad are the injured Perey, Gagila, Diakambi, and Yaremchuk, as well as suspended goalkeeper Mamardashvili.

From the 3-0 home victory against Celta Vigo, Alaves now has secured their spot mathematically. Alaves players took advantage of the fact that the visitors were unable to create opportunities (even though they had almost double the time with the ball in their possession, they finished the match with zero shots on target) and won easily. In the first half, the visitors’ goalkeeper had to make three crucial saves to keep his goal intact and the teams went into halftime tied 0-0.

However, in the second half, Alaves started with two quick goals, the first in the 48th minute by Simeone and the next in the 54th minute by Guridi. The latter also hit the post in the 74th minute, and 10 minutes later, Celta Vigo made their presence felt for the first and only time with an incredible missed opportunity by Aspas. In the 86th minute, Benavídez scored the final 3-0 goal.

Rodriguez, Mendez, and Duarte are not counted as they are injured.
