Later he looked calmer during the warm-up, but this is, without doubt, the most emotional match he has played in his career as a rojiblanco.

The labyrinth to make it into Europe
Real Madrid, Atlético, Villarreal and Betis have secured their places in next season's Champions League; Real Sociedad have secured theirs in the Europa League, but one Europa League place and one Conference place are still up for grabs.
Celta, Getafe and Athletic Club are battling for sixth place, which gives access to the Europa League. All three of them, along with Rayo Vallecano, Valencia and Sevilla, can still make the Conference.

Even Osasuna and Espanyol still have remote chances of taking seventh place...

But there are other possible scenarios. Real Sociedad have their place secured for winning the Copa del Rey, and Rayo could also have one if they end up winning the Conference League.
None of those teams would have any chance of the Europa League. For their part, Rayo will play in the Conference final, and if they win it, they will get their ticket to the 'orange' competition.
If Real Sociedad finish 6th and Rayo 7th, as long as Rayo beat Palace, there would be no Europa League or Conference qualification awarded through league merit.

This is how the table looks in the lower part of the league. Scary...
