Marca: La Liga allows Betis to prepare for the European League final first, and will have two more days off than Chelsea

May 20th According to Marca, before the upcoming European League final against Chelsea, Betis was allowed by La Liga, and they will have nearly 48 hours of rest time than their opponents.

Betis' home defeat at Atletico Madrid, coupled with Villarreal's victory over Barcelona, ​​means Pellegrini's team has lost the opportunity to compete for fifth place in the league, and this position could have allowed them to qualify for the Champions League next season.

Similarly, Betis' last round opponent Valencia also lost to Athletic Bilbao at home, so Valencia also missed the goal to win the eighth place and got the ticket to the European Union.

In this way, neither team has anything to fight for in the final round of the league, which also led La Liga to agree to Betis' request to play time as early as possible to get more rest time to prepare for the finals. Yesterday, the league announced the 38th round of the match schedule, and Betis will face Valencia on May 24, which is five days ahead of the Europa League final.

For Betis' opponent Chelsea, the situation is not so optimistic. The Blues led by Maresca also need to fight for a Champions League place in the Premier League, and they must play the final round with other teams on May 25.

This means there are only more than 70 hours between the last Premier League turn to the Europa League final, and it also includes travel. Although Chelsea's strength cannot be underestimated, they are obviously at a disadvantage in terms of physical recovery.
