MADRID (Reuters) - Often the butt of jokes about their lack of history and small fan base, unfashionable Getafe are out to get one over Spanish football's biggest clubs in the race to qualify for the Champions League when the La Liga season resumes this week.
Only five points separated five teams vying for third and fourth place when the campaign was halted in March due to the COVID-19 pandemic, with Getafe, who have never qualified for Europe's elite competition, firmly the odd one out.
Sevilla are no strangers to Europe's biggest stage either and got to the quarter-finals in 2018 while Real Sociedad reached the group stages in the 2013-14 season. In 2011 they poked fun at their low number of followers by making a tongue-in-cheek advert encouraging fans to become sperm donors and"breed" a new generation of supporters.
