La Liga Roundup, Matchday 32
Matchday 32 of the 2024/25 La Liga season has concluded, featuring exciting matches, impressive performances from players, and surprising outcomes. Here is the La Liga roundup for this round of games.
Espanyol 1-0 Getafe
Espanyol maintained their unbeaten home streak in La Liga, reaching 10 matches (4 wins, 6 draws) after defeating Getafe 1-0. Getafe has not won any of their last eight away league encounters against Espanyol. The Parakeets now have a 7-point lead over the relegation zone, while Getafe sits in 12th place.
Rayo Vallecano 1-1 Valencia
Rayo Vallecano failed to seize the chance to move into the European positions in La Liga, settling for a 1-1 draw against Valencia at the Estadio de Vallecas. This result marked their fifth consecutive home match without a win, with three draws and two losses for Los Franjirrojos.
Barcelona 4-3 Celta Vigo
Barcelona rallied from a two-goal deficit to beat Celta Vigo 4-3 in Catalonia, putting an end to Celta’s four-match unbeaten run in away games. This victory allows Barcelona to keep their lead over Real Madrid as they face a tough schedule ahead, including the La Liga El Clásico in May. Meanwhile, Celta must begin winning again to have a chance at qualifying for European competition for the first time since the 2016/17 season.
Mallorca 0-0 Leganes
Mallorca and Leganés ended their match at Son Moix in a goalless tie, although the home team likely did enough to secure a more favorable outcome in the latter part of the game. This draw marked Leganés’ sixth consecutive match without a win in La Liga, with two draws and four losses.
Las Palmas 1-0 Atletico Madrid
Atlético Madrid’s slim chances of clinching the La Liga title this season have likely vanished following a disappointing 1-0 defeat to relegation-threatened Las Palmas. Diego Simeone’s team now trails Barcelona by 10 points with only six league matches left to play. For Las Palmas, currently in 17th place, this victory could prove crucial if they manage to avoid relegation.
Valladolid 2-3 Osasuna
Osasuna achieved consecutive victories in La Liga for only the second time this season, securing a 3-2 away win against Real Valladolid, who suffered their sixth consecutive loss.
Villarreal 2-2 Real Sociedad
Villarreal’s winless streak at Estadio de la Cerámica continued (with three draws and one loss), after a 2-2 draw with Real Sociedad in La Liga. This result leaves Sociedad in 9th place, just one point behind 8th place Celta Vigo.
Sevilla 1-1 Alaves
Joaquín Caparrós’ first game of his second tenure as the permanent manager of Sevilla came to an end with a 1-1 draw against Alavés, breaking a streak of four straight losses. This match marked the first time in 24 years that Los Blanquiazules earned points in five consecutive away games in La Liga.
Real Madrid 1-0 Athletic Bilbao
Federico Valverde’s stunning goal in stoppage time secured three important points for Real Madrid in their quest for the La Liga title, leading them to a 1-0 victory against Athletic Bilbao at home. This win is significant for Real Madrid, keeping them four points behind Barcelona, who are at the top of the table.
Girona 1-3 Real Betis
Real Betis closed the gap to UEFA Champions League qualification with a 3-1 victory against Girona in LaLiga, marking Girona’s fourth straight loss in the top division under Míchel. In contrast, Betis has only suffered one defeat in their last nine league matches, putting them just one point behind fifth-placed Villarreal.
