5 LaLiga youngsters top clubs should pursue this Summer
We review LaLiga youngsters who should be on the target list of top clubs.
LaLiga: The tight race for Conference League
Going into the final day, CA Osasuna, who currently have 50 points and occupy seventh place, need just a victory to guarantee a return to European competition for the first time since 2007.
That’s easier said than done, however, because Los Rojillos will be taking on a direct rival, ninth-placed Girona FC, who are just one point behind in the standings.
These are two excellently-coached teams and they should produce a thrilling spectacle, one that Osasuna will have a home advantage for at a packed-out El Sadar.
Athletic Club may have lost their past two matches, but they still have a chance of sneaking into seventh by this season.
They travel to the Bernabéu to take on Real Madrid and need to win that fixture and also hope that Osasuna vs Girona FC ends in a draw or an away win.
10th-placed Rayo Vallecano are also just one point behind Osasuna, so will look to capitalise if other results go their way.
The capital city side travel to RCD Mallorca on the final day for what will be departing coach Andoni Iraola’s final match at the club.
Whether they secure European football or not, Isi Palazón, Álvaro García, Raúl de Tomás and co. will want to take the three points.
The other team that could still finish in the top seven is Sevilla FC, who will visit Sadiq Umar’s Real Sociedad that have already secured Champions League football.
Given that Sevilla won their seventh Europa League title on Wednesday, they’ll be joining La Real in next year’s Champions League but could yet shake up the race for seventh and deny the other contenders a European ticket.
Also in the early kick-off time is Samuel Chukwueze’s Villarreal CF vs Atlético de Madrid. While these teams are already certain of their European status for next season, Atleti are jostling for position with Real Madrid for second place.
The tightest relegation dogfight in years
With Elche CF and RCD Espanyol the two sides already sure of going down to LaLiga SmartBank, the last team to join them will be confirmed on Sunday.

Why Umar Sadiq is set to miss Nigeria's game against Sierra Leone
Umar featured for Nigeria in the reverse fixture against Sierra Leone, but he is set to miss the return leg next month.
Real Valladolid currently occupy the dreaded 18th position with 39 points, but they face a direct rival in Getafe CF, who are 14th with 41 points.
Therefore, both teams have their fate in their own hands, as a Valladolid win would see them leapfrog Los Azulones.

But the Galician side has a good record against Barça at the Abanca Balaídos, where they have lost just one of their past seven home league games against the Catalan outfit.
