The match of the third Villarreal on the pitch of the last Levante was dropped from the program of the 16th round.

The 21-year-old Swedish attacker was replaced by Abdellaoui in the 55th minute. The visitors had a chance to dramatize the game from the penalty spot, but Nico Williams failed. Athletic suffered their third defeat in the last five rounds and are one point behind in the cup standings in 7th place. Celta is one place and one point worse.
