Getafe boosted their Champions League hopes on Sunday with a valuable victory over Girona on matchday 36 of La Liga. Thanks to this win, the Madrid-based club, led in defense by Togolese international Djene Dakonam, strengthened their grip on fourth place, which is the final qualifying spot for next season’s Champions League.
With 58 points, Getafe now hold a three-point advantage over Sevilla with only two matches left to play. This puts them in a favorable position, but the race is far from over. The remaining fixtures promise to be challenging, starting with a daunting trip to face FC Barcelona next weekend, before closing the season at home against Villarreal on the final matchday.
Dakonam has once again been a key figure in Getafe’s impressive campaign, bringing stability and leadership to the back line. His performances have played an important role in the club’s defensive solidity and their remarkable push toward European qualification.
Despite their current advantage, Getafe know there is no room for complacency. With tough opponents ahead and Sevilla still within striking distance, Dakonam and his teammates will need to remain fully focused to protect their fourth-place position and secure a historic return to the Champions League.
