Espanyol had 202 days without losing at RCDE Stadium

In a season between bumpy and dramatic, the final days will depend on it, Espanyol kept a quite surprising streak that also broke this Saturday with the 1-3 of Levante which serves to return to the queue of classification. Incredible as it may seem, the parakeets had not lost at RCDE Stadium for 202 days.

Of the December 1 dated that last defeat in LaLiga, in the hands of an Osasuna who came back with ten players due to the expulsion of Facundo Roncaglia and who ended up taking a 2-4 from the parakeet stadium. Since then, in Cornellà they had added two victories, the first against Mallorca in February (1-0) and the second just a few days ago against Alavés (2-0) in the resumption of LaLiga, for up to four draws, all against quite significant rivals: 2-2 against Betis and Barcelona, ​​and 1-1 in clashes with Athletic Club and Atlético de Madrid.

This streak obviously assumes that Abelardo Fernández would not have lost yet at RCDE Stadium in front of Espanyol, since his first match coincided precisely with the premiere of this 2020. To the undefeated matches in LaLiga added the Asturian so far a home win in the Europa League, against Wolverhampton (3-2), although it was inconsequential.

In what remains of the championshipReal Madrid must still go through Cornellà, who will do it next Sunday, the 28th at ten o'clock at night, and three very direct rivals from Espanyol in the fight for permanence: Leganés, Eibar and Celta. The parakeet club gave the authorities on Friday a protocol to authorize the entry of the public.
