High stakes derby for Sevilla
A derby game is always important but for Sevilla this Sunday's clash with neighbours Real Betis could be worth millions with the prize of Champions League football still within their grasp.
Sevilla are three points behind fourth-placed Atletico Madrid with two games left but although their season is over Betis will be fired up to ruin's Sevilla's hopes of reaching the Champions League.
"Betis can rescue their season by beating us," said Sevilla midfielder Fazio. "We have to win to try and get into the Champions League and it will be a special derby."
Sevilla beat Racing Santander 3-0 to keep up their hopes of a top-four finish but Atletico can clinch fourth with victory against Deportivo La Coruna on Sunday as they have a superior head-to-head record to Sevilla.
Whoever finishes fourth will have to join Barcelona in qualifying for the Champions League after Frank Rijkaard's team lost out on second spot to Villarreal.
A 4-1 mauling by newly-crowned champions Real Madrid in El Clasico on Wednesday prompted Barca to announce Rijkaard's departure at the end of the season with reserve team coach Pep Guardiola taking his place.
Guardiola, 37, is a former Barca captain making over 250 appearances for the club between 1990 and 2001 winning six league titles and the 1992 Champions League in the process.
Rijkaard will hand over the reins soon and his penultimate game is at home to Real Mallorca on Sunday.
After sealing second spot the pressure is off Villarreal who have achieved their best ever league finish going into Sunday's match against Espanyol.
