The race for the league final accelerates. This Wednesday the second games of the semifinals for the league title are played. On Saturday the first was played, in which Barça and Jaén took the first point and therefore the match point to close their playoffs today. The former won at home, the Palau Blaugrana, and the latter, away from home, at Son Moix (in what was Palma’s first defeat in their pavilion so far this season).
Not only the league title is at stake, but also second place to have representation in the Champions League for next season. If Palma fails to reverse the situation and force a third game that gives them a place in the final, it would be the league champion the one who accompanies the Balearic team in the European competition. Otherwise, it would be the second finalist the one who would go with Vadillo’s men.
It will be at 20:30 (LaLigaSportsTV) when Inter Movistar receive Barça at the Jorge Garbajosa. The Duck box will try force that third game that brings them a little closer to the final against a Barça that has the sensitive loss of Ferrao. The Madrid team lifted the last league title in the 2019/2020 season and, as the team’s second top scorer, Eric Martel, told AS before Saturday’s game, “I think we have a chance to win, this team and these fans deserve a title”. Although it was those from Movistar who moved the Catalans to second position on the last day, andn the first face-to-face of this tie they could not face the reigning champion of the league for the last two years. “We hope to play a competitive game, a game in which we have tactical discipline, concentration and compete at a higher level than Barça will show”, are the statements of Pato, the Movistar coach, before the match.
At 9:00 p.m. (LaLigaSportsTV) It is the turn of Palma, who travels to the Olivo Arena. The reigning European champion the first point of the tie was left in a field in which they had not given up any victory throughout the season, in his pavilion. With a 2-5 on the scoreboard, the Andalusian team gave a surprise that they will try to reaffirm at home, to be able to close the season with a double (Spanish Cup and league). On the contrary, Vadillo’s team will try to force a third game that gives them the chance to be represented in the final and close a dream season for the Balearic team. Inaugurating a showcase with the biggest trophy in futsal, the Champions League, and opting to fill it with a double in the same season.
