Follow live Villarreal vs. Athletic Bilbao in the La Liga season highlights.
On one side sits Villarreal, nicknamed the Submarine, led by Quique Setien. They sit fifth in the table with 54 points and appear close to securing a place in the next UEFA Europa League. The dream of Champions League qualification remains distant, seven points adrift of fourth-placed Real Sociedad with five games left to play, keeping the path competitive and open.
Athletic Bilbao eyeing a Conference League berth
Meanwhile, Ernesto Valverde’s Athletic Club sits eighth, level on 47 points with Girona in seventh. This season, the seventh position would grant access to the UEFA Conference League, so the Basque side will try to climb La Cerámica to secure a spot in European competition next year.
