La Liga's Matchday 35 featured intense matchups, highlighted by Real Betis securing a long-awaited return to the Champions League after 21 years with a 2-1 victory over Elche at La Cartuja.

Real Betis started strong, with Cucho Hernandez scoring from distance just eight minutes in. However, Elche equalized just before halftime through a deflected goal from Hector Fort. Although Grady Diangana thought he had given Elche the lead in stoppage time, the goal was disallowed for handball.

The turning point came in the second half when Theo Petro of Elche received a red card. This opened the floodgates for Real Betis, who maintained relentless pressure. Despite Matias Dituro making several key saves, he was unable to stop a stunning strike from Pablo Fornals with 22 minutes remaining, sealing the win and confirming Real Betis’ 5th place in the league.

In another exciting match, Levante pulled off a remarkable 3-2 comeback against Celta Vigo, moving out of the relegation zone. Celta initially took the lead, but Levante responded with a dominant performance, including a spectacular goal from Adrian de la Fuente from 30 yards.

Meanwhile, Atletico Madrid edged Osasuna 2-1, leaving Osasuna in a precarious position in the standings, just three points above the relegation zone. The results set the stage for a thrilling conclusion to the La Liga season.
