Barça’s terrible collapse against Villarreal, which led to the (delayed) resignation of A fight is also suspected with Atlético to secure two Champions League places between the three teams, although the Barça team, on Wednesday, will play its late match against Osasuna.
Below, Almería certifies its condemned status week after week, beaten at home by an Alavés that achieved its third consecutive victory to escape eleven points from the relegation places in which Cádiz and Granada accompany Almería.
Celta and Sevilla continue to border on disaster. In Vigo, doubts regarding Benítez’s continuity increase after winning only two of the last 18 league games, while in Seville the impact of Quique Sánchez Flores has come to nothing, eliminated in the Cup and he has only won one of his six games in League.
THE GOAL
That of Sergi Altimira and that, scored in added time of the first half, gave Betis the victory in Mallorca. A shot, at first, from outside the area close to the post, close to the corner and impossible for Predrag Rajković.
THE STOP
Sergio Herrera’s game was extraordinary and was vital for Osasuna to get a valuable draw in Seville. After four minutes he already saved a tight and poisonous shot from Isaac, avoided up to four clear chances from the Andalusian team and in added time saved a double golden opportunity for Sergio Ramos and Rafa Mir.
THE ASSISTANCE
The pride that Griezmann offered to Lino so that Atlético advanced to Valencia in added time of the first half. A deep, medium-high pass of 40 meters that surprised the Czech defense and was resolved by the midfielder by beating Mamardashvili low.
THE CONTROVERSY
Rodrygo could have been sent off for slapping Álvaro Valles, Las Palmas goalkeeper, with the ball already in play outside the yellow area. The Brazilian striker from Real Madrid was already reprimanded at that moment.

ELECTRICITY WAS
In duplicate in Montjuïc. Approaching half-time, he annulled a goal by Gerard Moreno that would have been 0-2 for Villarreal and in the 90th minute, with the score at 3-3, he annulled the penalty that the referee had awarded in favor of Barça at the hands of Comesaña and which would have put the Barça team ahead… who ended up losing 3-5 in extra time.
ESTRELLA
Isco. If, despite the defeat of the previous day, he already excelled against Barça, in Mallorca he was the true leader of Betis’ offensive football in which he has recovered the best version of himself.
GOES UP
Memphis Depay. Author of the 2-0 with which Atlético sealed their victory over Valencia, he took advantage of his entry into the starting team instead of Morata, consummating an excellent performance that he could have rounded off with a great goal, which was not, after a sidereal dribble.
BAJA
The Royal Society. They tied in Anoeta against Rayo Vallecano and have only won one of their last six league games, almost saying goodbye to their chances of entering the top four and beginning to see their qualification for Europe next season in jeopardy.

SURPRISE
The Alavés. He beat the bottom team in Almería, achieving his third consecutive victory and escaping the danger positions in a race. If it began the year with just two points ahead of the relegated teams, today it is already ten points ahead, with six teams in between and approaching a salvation that it feared, and not a little, just a month ago.
DISAPPOINTMENT
Celta does not abandon its depression. He has only won three of his 22 games in the competition, two of twelve in Balaídos where on Sunday he lost again against Girona. He is just one point ahead of the relegation positions and just as Benítez’s position on the bench is in danger, his permanence is also in danger… In the year that commemorates his centenary.
