MatchDay 33 of the La Liga season 2024-25 came to a conclusion on Thursday with four more games played in Spain. There was a lot of drama earlier this week and on this occasion there were competitions that influenced the European race and the fight to prevent relegation.
Real Betis 5-1 real Valladolid
Real Betis has moved to the Champions League places after a confident victory over Real Valladolid in the Benito Villamarin. Jesus Rodriguez scored early for the hosts, but an equalizer arrived just before the break of Chuki. Nevertheless, Los Verdiblancos had their superiority told in the second period as goals of Cucho Hernandez, Isco, Romain Perraud and Ez Abde caused another three points. And the result also confirmed the relegation of La Pucela, which has been on the cards for months.
Atletico Madrid 3-0 Rayo Vallecano
Atletico Madrid is just about in contact with Barcelona and Real Madrid for them after a convincing victory over local rivals Rayo Vallecano. It was a dream start in the Metropolitano when Alexander Sorloth scored after three minutes, and the second arrived just before the half -time interval as Conor Gallagher. Julian Alvarez would complete the score in the 77th minute with an excellent finish.
LEGANES 1-1 Girona
Girona missed a golden opportunity to achieve a huge victory in their struggle to prevent relegation after drawing in Leganes. The hosts were reduced to 10 men early when Seydouba Cisse was shown a straight red card and the Catalans benefited when Crithian Stuani scored another big goal. But in the end it wasn't enough when Munir El Haddadi was informed in the stop time to save a point on Butarque.
Osasuna 1-0 Sevilla
Osasuna moved to the European places after beating Sevilla in El Sadar. Ruben Garcia scored the only goal of the game at 24 minutes, and it turned out to be rather comfortable for Los Rojillos, because Dodi Lukebakio was kept away shortly thereafter for the removal of defender Alejandro Catena.
