From the end of this match, the national press was fed by Real Valladolid. They accused it of violent and aggressive because of the badly referee's performance and the unfortunate foul committed by Nivaldo on Cristiano Ronaldo. Onésimo Sánchez, the press of Valladolid, Carlos Suárez and some Real Valladolid players were defending themselves saying that the match was not violent and that the referee's performance was wrong because of the non-signposting of two penalties (both of them committed by Sergio Ramos, booked at the 20th minute) to its favour and not by not send off any Valladolid player. A sector of Valladolid press assured to have seen Jorge Valdano, Real Madrid's general manager, to take to Mejuto González and his assistants at the half time of the match two black sport bags which content could not be revealed.

Llanes deal

It's a supposed deal emerged because of the speculation between the supporters of Sporting Gijón and Racing Santander, twinned from some years ago. It consists in tampering Liga BBVA's last matchday with a double target: if Sporting Gijón loses (mathematically saved for the relegation), Racing Santander will win 3 points which will save the Miguel Ángel Portugal's team, harming and making more difficult the non-relegation for one of the most hated teams in Gijón: Real Valladolid. Obviously, presidents, coaches and players from both teams gradually denied this speculation, but the Spanish press continues speculating and encouraging this rumor. The name was invented by a sportswriter who noticed the table situation. Called Llanes deal because Llanes is a village between Asturias and Cantabria, autonomous communities in which Gijón and Santander are located.

Battle for the non-relegation

According to the course of the season, the calculations indicate that with 40 points or more, the teams will not be relegated to Liga Adelante, so that, assuming Sporting Gijón and UD Almería are now saved (both with 37 points in the 30th matchday), the teams involved in the fight for non-relegation, waiting yet for several face-to-face between the teams involved, are the follows, including Real Valladolid:

Rules for classification: 1) points; 2) head-to-head points; 3) head-to-head goal difference; 4) head-to-head goals scored; 5) goal difference; 6) number of goals scored.
(R) Relegated.
Notes:
  1. VLD 3–3 TEN; TEN 0–0 VLD. As the aggregate score is a draw (3–3), the team with the higher goal difference between these two teams qualifies first and over the other one (Valladolid 18th, with 25; Tenerife 19th with 34)
gollark: But you can dynamically link it and make it UTTERLY unreplaceable still, I expect.
gollark: Well, it will increase monotonically forever due to Disney.
gollark: The result is basically the same.
gollark: "Good"/"not very" why? It is very arbitrary.
gollark: There are also patents.
