Espanyol is already watching the descent

After a start to the championship, to say the least, exciting, the Spanish female believed that she would not stumble twice on the same stone. Last year he was the bottom of LaLiga Iberdrola without winning, but the pandemic stopped the competition and the results were invalidated. Miracles don't happen twice. Little by little, those of Ruben Casado They have been losing energy, scoring points against rivals in the lower zone and have fallen into a well whose permanence is practically irremediable.

The Blue and Whites lost 2-3 in the add-on in a worthy derby against Barcelona, ​​but remain six points behind with nine remaining to be played and with an equally complicated schedule against Atlético, Madrid CFF and Sevilla, three teams that are among the first nine classified. To save itself, Espanyol should start from the base of winning all three games and wait for Eibar or Rayo Vallecano don't win one of them. Mathematics gives options, but these are lodged in the field of faith.

After a discreet first lap but out of the relegation position with 15 points, the Blue and Whites hoped to improve in the second stage, but they have only added nine points with three games to go. There are key games that have not been able to win, such as last week in A Coruña or Rayo Vallecano at home, points that would have raised the Blue and Whites to more comfortable areas taking into account that both are the two teams with Eibar that are above.

The descent of Espanyol would break a tradition. Together with Levante, it is the only team that has not dropped its category in the history of the competition. It has been a decade since the parakeet team has been undercapitalising its players and has been losing budget compared to the growth in other clubs in the category. A trend that leads to an irremediable outcome.
