Liga: Betis returns to C1 after 21 years of absence, Atlético ensures

The 36th day of La Liga kicked off this Tuesday, May 12. Thanks to their 2-1 victory against Elche, Betis locked fifth place in the table and qualifies for the Champions League. The Andalusians take advantage of Celta de Vigo’s defeat at home against Luis Castro’s Levante (2-3) to validate their ticket for the next C1. A first in 21 years.

For Levante, it is also an excellent operation, because the team coached by the former Nantes coach temporarily leaves the relegation zone and climbs to 16th place. Finally, Atlético de Madrid, already qualified for the C1 and which no longer plays anything, went to the Osasuna field. And the Colchoneros quietly won their match 2-1 thanks to Lookman and Sorloth. A victory which brings them to three points from third place.
