Real Madrid, freshly crowned champions, travel to Granada this Saturday in what seems like a formality given the title has been clinched, and attention now shifts to the relegation battle. Granada faces the real threat of relegation before kickoff if Real Mallorca triumph over Las Palmas, leaving the Andalucian side on the brink of dropping back to the second tier, sitting 11 points adrift of safety.
Despite Madrid's recent Champions League exploits, securing a spot in the final, their title celebrations have been postponed to this weekend. However, this timing coincides with Granada's potential relegation, sparing their fans from witnessing Madrid's trophy ceremony on the same day. Granada's coach, Jose Ramon Sandoval, acknowledges the grim reality and aims for an honorable exit, focusing on dedicating a victory to their loyal supporters.
Meanwhile, Cadiz, battling just above Granada in the relegation zone, face an uphill task to stay afloat. Sitting six points behind Mallorca, they host Getafe with hopes of extending their survival fight to the final rounds. With the odds stacked against them, coach Mauricio Pellegrino stresses the importance of focusing on each match and the necessity of improvement to rally back in front of their home fans.
Further up the table, minor battles unfold as Atletico Madrid aim to secure fourth place for Champions League qualification, while Real Betis strives to fend off Valencia for a top-seven finish. Girona eyes finishing above Barcelona, who are experiencing a challenging season, while striving to bolster their European ambitions. With intriguing matchups and individual milestones at stake, LaLiga braces for an exciting climax as teams jostle for their final positions in the league standings.
