Unai Simon - Keeps clean sheet in win Simon kept a clean sheet with one save made during Sunday's 2-0 win over Osasuna.

Alex Berenguer - Scores in win Berenguer scored one goal from four shots (two on goal) and created two chances during Sunday's 2-0 win over Osasuna.
Impact Berenguer had to come in for Raul Garcia early into the contest and made up the difference with a good headed goal off a corner. If Garcia and Nico Williams are hurt for the finale against Sevilla, look to Berenguer and Asier Villalibre to fill out the front line.

Iker Muniain - Logs assist in win Muniain provided one assist from five chances created on six crosses (three accurate) during Sunday's 2-0 win over Osasuna.
Impact Muniain had another busy night and put in a perfect corner for Alex Berenguer to head home and open the scoring. With the most chances created of any player in the competition, Muniain will end the season against Sevilla, which have conceded the fewest goals in the league.

Asier Villalibre - Scores off bench in win Villalibre scored one goal from two shots (one on goal) in 45 minutes of Sunday's 2-0 win over Osasuna.
Impact Villalibre came on for Nico Williams for the entire second half and was rewarded with a tidy finish to close out the contest. Should Williams be hurt, Villalibre could start in the finale against a tough Sevilla defense.

Inaki Williams - Logs assist in win Williams logged one assist from two chances created and took four shots (three on goal) during Sunday's 2-0 win over Osasuna.
Impact Williams had no trouble running into space when he wanted to and that's how he was able to set up Asier Villalibre with a clean through-ball from the wing. With one goal and two assists in the last five matches, Williams is at least contributing something and that's a good way for him to end the year. The final game is a trip to Sevilla, which have conceded the fewest goals in La Liga.

Nicholas Williams - Leaves early in win Williams created two chances but was replaced by Asier Villalibre after the first half of Sunday's 2-0 win over Osasuna.
Impact Williams seemed to pull a muscle before the end of the first half and was unable to continue after the break. It's not great timing with a key match left against Sevilla, though Williams now has the offseason to get into good shape if he needs to.
