Sevilla (2nd) drew (0-0) on Sunday against Real Sociedad (6th), the same result as Betis (5th) on their visit to Celta de Vigo (11th), disappointing results for the aspirations of the two Sevillian clubs in the 29th round of Spanish LaLiga.
After tying Rayo Vallecano (1-1) and Alaves (0-0), Sevilla once again scored a single point in the visit of Real Sociedad, giving Real Madrid (1st, 66 points, nine more than Sevilla) the chance to increase their difference in their match against FC Barcelona.
The draw does not work for Real Sociedad either, in the midst of the fight for Champions League positions and unable to pressure FC Barcelona, the current fourth place.
Another contender in the fight for Champions League positions, Real Betis (5th), who also drew 0-0 at Celta de Vigo, and has achieved only one victory in its last four matches of the championship (2 losses and 1 draw).
Sevilla and Betis were also eliminated this Thursday in the Europa League.
Villarreal (7th), after qualifying for the quarterfinals in the Champions League on Wednesday at Juventus's home, were defeated (1-0) at Cadiz's home (17th), following a goal by Rubén Sobrino in the 90th minute. This victory serves the people of Cadiz to get out of the relegation positions.
Mallorca (18th) fell to the red zone of the table, after being defeated on their visit to Espanyol (12th), with a goal by Raúl de Tomás before the break (42nd minute).
With these results, Real Madrid and FC Barcelona play a very important Classic (20h00 GMT) to close the title of the madridistas and for the European aspirations of the Catalan club.
