Who was going to tell Betis who would celebrate so effusively the goal of Dorgeles in the discount that gave victory to a Sporting Braga that had just eliminated them in the quarterfinals of the Europa League.
UEFA coefficients
All the hopes of LaLigaand especially those of the ‘verdiblanco’ team, to get the extra quota that gives access to the next Champions they happened because Atlético de Madrid and Rayo Vallecano improve the results of Bayern Munich and Freiburg in their respective first legs of European competitions.
The explanation is very simple: the points obtained by LaLiga are divided between eight, which are the teams that qualified for the current editions of Champions, Europa League or Conference. There the Bundesliga has an advantage, since it entered one less team in European competitions and, therefore, each victory/draw comes at a slightly higher average. Emphasize, however, that the points are worth the same in each of the three competitions.

Everything, however, went according to plan in this semi-final first leg. And it is that, while the Atlético de Madrid tied against Arsenal (1-1) and Rayo Vallecano was imposed by the minimum Strasbourg (1-0)he Bayern fell before him PSG (5-4) in it Princes Park in a memorable match and the Freiburg ended up biting the dust in Portugal against him Panty of Carlos Vicens after so much Dorgeles in 92′.

Furthermore, it should be emphasized that advancing to the final of the competition does not count the same. Champions (1.5), Europa League (1) and Conference (0.5). There, LaLiga also starts at a disadvantage, since the Freiburg is in Europa League and the Lightning in Conference. That is, there is still a lot of work to do in London and Strasbourg. But at least LaLiga has taken air. Something they celebrate in the Betiswhich runs fifth… but also a Celtic that, marching seventh, he would now have a European place.
