Villarreal Beat Athletic Bilbao as LaLiga Relegation Battle Intensifies Across Spain

Posted : 13 April 2026

Villarreal CF secured a 2–1 victory over Athletic Club in LaLiga on Sunday, a result that added further pressure on the Basque side as their poor run of form continued at San Mamés.

The defeat means Athletic have now lost five of their last six matches in all competitions, leaving them just six points above the relegation zone and increasingly concerned about their position in the table.

Earlier in the weekend, Real Oviedo boosted their survival hopes with a convincing 3–0 win at Celta Vigo, moving them temporarily off the bottom of the LaLiga standings and within five points of safety.

Villarreal took control of their match with goals from Sergi Cardona and Alfonso González, while Athletic managed a late response through Gorka Guruzeta but could not complete a comeback.

Athletic striker Iñaki Williams admitted his side are struggling for consistency, saying fine margins have cost them valuable points and stressing the need to focus on teams below them in the table.

His brother, Nico Williams, returned to the starting lineup after a spell out injured, offering a boost ahead of a crucial run-in for both club and country as Spain prepare for upcoming international tournaments.

Elsewhere, RCD Mallorca climbed out of the relegation zone with a dominant 3–0 win over Rayo Vallecano, inspired by a brace from Vedat Muriqi, who continues to challenge for the league’s top scorers’ chart.

With multiple teams tightly packed near the bottom of the table, the LaLiga relegation battle remains wide open heading into the final stages of the season.
