REUTERS: With Barcelona already crowned champions, the focus in Spain has shifted to a thrilling three-way battle for La Liga's final Champions League berth, with Getafe, Sevilla and Valencia eyeing game-changing prize money worth at least 30 million euros .

Valencia, who endured a chastening last-gasp defeat at home to Eibar last weekend, visit bottom club Huesca on Sunday but could be feeling the effects of their Europa League semi-final first leg away to Arsenal. Clubs can earn an additional 2.7 million for every game they win, while getting into the knockout phase would see them coin another 9.5 million, in addition to increased matchday revenues.Valencia have reached the Champions League final twice, in 2000 and 2001, and returning to Europe's premier competition would boost their plans to finish building their new stadium, which will require an extra 150 million euros.

The money would have the biggest impact at Getafe, however, who have only existed in their current form since 1983 and play in a stadium holding only 17,000 spectators, which would look grossly out of place in the Champions League.
