Atletico Madrid improved their chances of playing in Europe next season when Argentina forward Sergio Aguero struck twice in a 4-1 home win over mid-table Levante in La Liga on Sunday.The victory lifted the Spanish capital's second club and Europa League champions to sixth on 49 points, two behind fifth-placed Athletic Bilbao with five games left following the Basque club's 2-1 success against Real Sociedad on Saturday.
Sevilla, who host fourth-placed Villarreal in Sunday's late kickoff (1900 GMT), are seventh on 46 points, one ahead of Espanyol whose miserable recent run continued when they lost 1-0 at Sporting Gijon.
Brazilian midfielder Elias fired Atletico ahead in the 19th minute at the Calderon when he arrowed a free kick over the Levante wall and into the net off the underside of the crossbar.
Ecuadorian striker Felipe Caicedo levelled from the penalty spot six minutes before the break and Aguero made it 2-1 five minutes into the second half when he pounced on a loose ball and smashed a low shot in off the post from just outside the area.
His second came from another penalty with 20 minutes remaining and Levante goalkeeper Gustavo Munua gifted the home side a fourth in the 84th minute when he fluffed an attempted clearance at a corner and diverted the ball into his own net.
Barcelona maintained their eight-point lead over Real Madrid at the top when they beat Osasuna 2-0 at the Nou Camp on Saturday. Real, who secured their first King's Cup since 1993 at Barca's expense on Wednesday, routed Valencia 6-3.
