The last round of LaLiga EASports has left us with very emotional moments such as RC Celta’s qualification to the Europa League, Rayo Vallecano’s qualification to the Conference League and RCD Espanyol’s salvation, as well as the farewells of Luka Modrić and Carlo Ancelotti at the Santiago Bernabéu. At the other end of the scale are CD Leganés who, despite winning their match, ended up relegated to the Second Division. LaLiga Overtime for 38th round extra time kicks off!
LaLiga Overtime 24/25 – Match Day #38:
RC Celta return to Europe at El Coliseum:
Celta’s fans experienced a dream night in Getafe with their team’s victory at El Coliseum. Borja Mayoral silenced the away fans with a goal in the opening minutes, but Claudio Giráldez’s side were not to be denied. Iago Aspas was the Man of the Match and it didn’t take long for him to appear, leaving technical gestures to remember and proving his veteran skills by knowing how to carry the weight of the game when the ball is burning the most.
RC Celta finished off the job in the 80th minute with a goal from Iago Aspas. Eight years after the painful elimination at Old Trafford, they kept their word and brought the club back to European competitions. The Vigo players had their own party at El Coliseum and will be able to dream of playing against big European clubs with a very attractive program with the youth team at the heart of it.
Real Madrid farewell their legends:
Carlo Ancelotti and Luka Modrić stepped onto the Santiago Bernabéu pitch for the last time in a match in which neither Real Madrid nor Real Sociedad had anything at stake and was marked by farewells, as Imanol Alguacil also bid farewell to the visiting team’s bench.
On the sporting front, the highlight of the game was Kylian Mbappé’s brace as he reached 31 goals in LaLiga and secured the top scorer’s prize in his first year in LaLiga. The Frenchman is in pole position for the Golden Boot ahead of Mohammed Salah, and this award could be the best news for Real Madrid, who are already waiting for their new boss, Xabi Alonso, who has been unveiled this Monday.
RCD Espanyol are safe ‘in extremis’:
Manolo González’s side were depending on themselves on this final day of the season to seal their stay in the First Division, but did not have it easy. Their direct rivals, CD Leagnés, took an early lead in their match and put the ‘Blue and Whites’ under pressure, who played a very poor first half.
In the final minutes of the game, Essugo committed a dubious penalty and the home side’s captain, Javi Puado, converted it with personality. Pere Milla scored the final 2-0 to seal the game on a day when the Perico captain put his future in doubt and Joan García was given a standing ovation amid tears due to his possible departure from RCD Espanyol.
