A marble RCDE Stadium

The Spanish has lived a magical year at the RCDE Stadium, where he forged promotion the previous season and where he has built the foundations of a quiet campaign on his return to First Division. A 2021, a nod to his eternal captain, Dani Jarque, in which the blue and white have added 72% of the points at stake, a real outrage, better than Barcelona (66%) and surpassed instead by Real Madrid (74%), but in Champions numbers.

It is curious that the percentage in First so far it is better than the second round in LaLiga SmartBank. The parakeet team, already with Vicente Moreno in command, managed to score 69% of the points. Statistic fell plummeting when blue and white got promotion so math, since after that ecstasy in Zaragoza (May 8), they fell to Cartagena (0-2) and drew against Tenerife (1-1).

This campaign, the figures are even better. Espanyol has added 74% of the points at stake, only Athletic Club (1-1), Atlético de Madrid (1-2) and Villarreal (0-0) have managed to add in a RCDE Stadium that has become the fourth best venue in the championship only surpassed by the surprising Rayo Vallecano (25 points), Real Madrid (23), Sevilla (21) and, later, they are followed by those of Moreno, with 20. Barcelona also adds the same points but with one more match at the Camp Nou.

Espanyol performs naturally in its stadium, like an animal is a habitat. He has patience, he is supportive in the retreat and his attacking players are more assisted and inspired. The team gives one hundred percent but, in this 2021, there is a big but what causes that it was not the ideal campaign even though it has been the best in all the years of life del RCDE Stadium (2009).

The barely amateurs they have been able go due to the pandemic. The campaign in the Second Division was a ghost for the fans, supporting from their homes or with the receptions outside the stadium, but without being able to enjoy sporting success within. This campaign, in the first two three days at home there were capacity restrictions, but then 100% was already approved, although now again the pandemic threatens changes. 16,482 is the average number of spectators, 40.7% of the capacity, the third worst in LaLiga only ahead of Elche and Celta.
