One Step Away from Champions League! Atleti Women Visit Eibar
Atlético de Madrid Women face a crucial match on their visit to Eibar, corresponding to the penultimate matchday of Liga F. A victory on Basque soil would virtually seal qualification for the next edition of the UEFA Champions League, a priority objective for the team this season.
The Rojiblancas have a four-point lead over Athletic Club, their main competitor for third place, and are confident of maintaining the distance. Historically, visits to the Basque Country have been successful for Atleti, with convincing victories against Athletic in Lezama and against Real Sociedad in Zubieta.
The team will seek to repeat the feat to ensure their presence in the top European competition. For their part, Eibar, with survival already secured, will seek to say goodbye to their fans with a good performance.
Although their home performance has been inconsistent in the second half of the season, the Azulgranas will try to make things difficult for Atleti. In the first leg match, played in Alcalá de Henares, both teams drew (1-1) in a match that reflected the equality between them. Now, with teams transformed since then, a hard-fought duel is expected in Ipurúa, where Atleti will seek the ticket to the Champions League.
