Valencia seal European football for next season but remain fixed on Champions League qualification LaLiga Minimum objective achieved

Valencia have reached their minimum target for the season by mathematically ensuring a European place following their big win over Huesca on the weekend.

The 6-2 victory on Sunday means they are guaranteed to finish at least within the top seven, meaning that continental football will be enoyed at Mestalla next campaign.

Real Sociedad, who occupy eighth position, are on 47 points while Los Che have 55 on the board with two games to spare.

However, Marcelino's side are determined to earn a Champions League place, even though Getafe are three points above them with six points left to play for.

The difference of revenue from reaching the Champions League in comparison to the Europa League is vast, and Valencia need to be in Europe's top competition due to their hefty wage bill.

LaLiga Santander is not the only way that Valencia can make the Champions League as winning the Europa League would also seal their passage.

However, Marcelino and co. have to first overturn their 3-1 deficit against Arsenal on Thursday in the semi-final second leg at Mestalla for those hopes to materialise.
