The battle with the third-place team is on. Atletico Madrid is three points ahead, and next Sunday, the mattresses and the Bilbao team will face each other in Alcalá de Henares. David Aznar talked about the fight to try to snatch the Champions League spot from the Madrid team: «They have a tough visit this week (Levante UD), and it will be a demanding match for Atletico Madrid. Everything depends on us at the moment. Talking about the schedule is complex, but I don’t think Atletico has a comfortable schedule. All the teams they face are fighting for something. Everything depends on winning tomorrow, and we need to earn three points to go with hope and excitement to win in Madrid.»
«It would be an incredible reward to play with this badge in Europe»
Tomorrow, UDCA Tenerife will arrive, which, according to Aznar, «had a very good first half of the season and has now fallen a bit from those top positions. They have a very interesting short-medium-term project, and Tenerife has always been an important club in our league.» It will be the first time the Canarian team visits The Cathedral.
It is the last match of the season, the fourth at San Mamés. «We are very grateful to play again at San Mamés. This Club pays attention to these details. For us, it is an advantage and a motivation to always play there,» said David, also referring to the historical moment the team is going through. «We want people to experience it with us until the end. We are trying to put the icing on the cake, and it would be an incredible reward to play with this badge in Europe again. We must appreciate the effort the squad has made; I have seen the players grow, and for them, it would be a dream to play in Europe. The feeling of this team is special, it is different,» he emphasized.
