Getafe will compete in European competition for the fourth time in its history next season after defeating Osasuna 1-0, with a goal from Milla, securing seventh place and a spot in the Conference League.

Getafe has capped off an exceptional season by achieving its fourth qualification for European competitions. The Madrid-based team defeated Osasuna 1-0 on the final matchday, a result that secures them seventh place in the standings and a spot in the Conference League.
The lone goal, scored by Milla in the first fifteen minutes of the second half, was enough to seal the victory. The team's characteristic defensive solidity, under the guidance of Bordalás, was crucial in maintaining the lead against an Osasuna side that fought for an equalizer.
This feat represents a fitting end to a campaign that began with numerous setbacks. The Getafe faithful celebrated the achievement with great enthusiasm, including a pitch invasion and a party that coincided with the city's patron saint festivities.
The match started cautiously, with both teams keeping an eye on other crucial results. However, Milla's strike from the edge of the box, which deflected off a defender, broke the deadlock. Despite Osasuna's attempts to equalize, particularly through chances from Osambela and Raúl García, Getafe's defense and the saves from Soria kept them ahead.
The final 1-0 score not only rewards Getafe for maximizing its squad's resources but also ensured Osasuna's survival in La Liga, as Girona failed to win against Elche.
