| 0:00.0 | Hello everyone and welcome to this week's edition of the Spanish football podcast. |
| 0:11.3 | I'm Phil Kitsmalidi. Sidney joins me fresh back from Seville. |
| 0:15.6 | Hello, Sydney. |
| 0:16.4 | Hello, Phil. I'm not sure that fresh is quite the word, but yes, I am just back from Seville. |
| 0:21.4 | Fresh is not the word, is it? No, it very much isn't. No. But still, you're back and you're rearing to go, aren't you? Yes, very much. That's not the word either. You're here begrudgingly recording. I'm willing to go, just about willing. dragled and begrudging and you're just about standing and you're willing to do a podcast with me. That's great. It's lovely news, isn't it? Everyone's very happy. This is what happened on the penultimate round of fixtures. Nine games took place at the same time on Sunday. It was really quite exciting, certainly the first half of games, second half, not so much, but the first half of matches were very, very exciting. |
| 0:58.3 | These are the final results. It finished. Athletic Club won, Celtivigo won. Athletic in Madrid |
| 1:03.5 | beating Girona by Gold to Nill, Elche beating Hetafé by goal to 0, Levante beating Majorca 2-0, |
| 1:09.4 | which means that Mayorka are now 95% to nil. Levante beating Majorca 2-0, which means that Majorca are now 95% to be relegated. 95% chance of being |
| 1:17.3 | relegated. Ryo beat Villarreal 2-0, magnificent Rio. What a team. What a |
| 1:23.1 | bunch of lads. Real Sociedad 3, Valencia 4, an incredible result at the Reale Arena, which means Valencia, |
| 1:30.9 | could mathematically get into Europe on the final day of the season? |
| 1:33.5 | Alaves be Oviedo 1-0 at the Tartieri, obviously Al-Ves are safe. |
| 1:37.5 | Español beat Osseruna 2-1 in Pamplona. |
| 1:40.5 | Español could also make it into Europe. |
| 1:42.3 | Osseruna are not mathematically safe from relegation. Real Madrid beat Severe 1-0 and Barcelona beat Bettis 3-1.

| 2:20.7 | Espagnol, Severe, Valencia, Alaveste, they're all safe, Sid. Yeah, they're all safe. |
| 2:26.2 | We went into this final game of round of games, knowing that nine teams could still go down to |
| 2:30.7 | join Oviedo, obviously, so 10 teams could go down because one was already down. |
| 2:35.0 | We've now got five. |
| 2:36.9 | We've now got five left and the teams that could still occupy those final two places. |
| 2:41.0 | You're very quiet, by the way. |
