On the night of the match, Sporting de Gijón's fans partied until late into the night. The entire city was filled with the smell of beer and Spanish grilled seafood.
Sporting de Gijón's fans had plenty of reasons to party.
Sporting de Gijón defeated Leganés with a score of 3-0 at home. They had trampled on their opponent, who had directly avoided relegation.
In addition, there was also good news from other matches. Messi City and Malaga B also faced each other in this round of the league. These two teams tied.
Cordoba lost to Aravés at home in this round of the league.
This was great news for Sporting de Gijón.
In this way, after the 35th round of the league, the lower rankings of the Segunda División quietly changed.
Sporting de Gijón was ranked 15th in the league with 52 points!
Cordoba, who lost this round, also had 52 points, but because they had one goal less than Sporting de Gijón, they were ranked 16th.
Next was Malaga B, who ranked 17th in the league with 51 points.
Messi City had 50 points and was ranked 18th in the league.
Then there was the relegation zone. Leganés lost, but they still had 42 points and were ranked 19th.
Behind Leganes, Almeria had won the match this round. With 39 points, they were ranked 20th in the league.
FC Xi Hong won the match and obtained three points. Their ranking also rose from eighteenth to fifteenth in an instant.
*****
For Sporting de Gijón, the biggest benefit of rising in the league was that they had Cordoba, Malaga B, and Messi City behind them. These three teams were between Sporting de Gijón and the relegation zone. Even if they were to analyze it according to mathematical probability, the probability of these teams being relegated was higher than Sporting de Gijón. Furthermore, Sporting de Gijón was currently ten points ahead of Leganés in the relegation zone!
Therefore, even though there were still seven rounds left, with Li Ang's team's current performance and their current ranking, their journey to avoid relegation could be said to be smooth.
Even according to the most pessimistic calculations, Sporting Gihon only needed to win two to three more matches to be able to avoid relegation in advance.
Relegation was the sword of Damocles that hung over the heads of Sporting de Gijón. The entire city was trembling in fear. Now, they could finally take a breather. Even the most pessimistic fans acknowledged that the team's prospects for survival were very bright.
The Voice of Gijón was even more excited. They couldn't wait to announce on the front page that Li Ang had led Sporting de Gijón to a crucial victory to avoid relegation!
In addition, the first team in the Segunda División to be relegated in advance was born. Algeciras was massacred by Numencia in this round of the league tournament with a score of 5-0. After suffering a crushing defeat, they also announced their relegation in advance.
The Spanish media's reaction to Algeciras' early relegation was dull. The vice-monitor of the Segunda División had been ranked last for a long time with pitiful points. Relegation was only a matter of time.
However, Li Ang still saw the image of Algeciras' relegation from the television news. The players were crying, and the fans were also very sad. For a professional team, relegation to the Segunda División was almost like falling into the abyss. It was not as easy to climb from the Segunda División to the Segunda División. If things went wrong, the team would continue to sink in the Segunda División for at least the next ten years. If they were unlucky, they might even continue to sink …
This was the cruelty of professional football.

The next morning, Li Ang read the newspaper while eating breakfast. It was a copy of AS. He had always been uninterested in the two major newspapers in Madrid, but the photo on the front page of the newspaper today attracted his attention.
It was a photo of a key battle of the Segunda División last night. It was an away game between Real Madrid and Deportivo de La Coruña. Currently, Real Madrid was ranked fourth in the league, while Deportivo was ranked third. The second in the league was Real Madrid's arch-rival, Barcelona.
The league leader was Valencia, who led Real Madrid by five points.
In this game between Real Madrid and Deportivo de La Coruña, the Galácticos had to win in order to surpass Deportivo in the standings and continue to catch up with Barcelona and Valencia.
The Madrid media knew the importance of this game, and they even used the word "decisive battle"!
This was a picture near the end of the game. On the scoreboard of Deportivo de La Coruña's Riazo Stadium, the score of 2-0 was so dazzling. According to international practice, the home team was in front, and the away team was behind. Deportivo de La Coruña had a perfect 2-0 victory over Real Madrid.
Real Madrid's manager, Luxemburgo, stood on the sidelines with his arms crossed in front of his chest, expressionless. To his side was the dazzling score on the scoreboard.
Real Madrid had lost in the away game.
Now, the gap between this super powerhouse club and Valencia had been widened to eight points. With only three rounds left in the league, this almost declared that Real Madrid had no chance of winning the league title.
*****
AS's huge headline: Farewell to the Champions!
In this long report, the Madrid media criticized Real Madrid's Brazilian manager, Luxemburgo, saying that it was the Brazilian's incompetence that caused Real Madrid to suffer great humiliation.
At the same time, the newspaper revealed that in the Bernabéu locker room, Luxemburgo had lost the trust of the star players, and many star players were dissatisfied with the Brazilian …
"A player who did not want to be named said that everyone could no longer tolerate Luxemburgo. The players were disappointed. Disappointed with this season, disappointed with the manager, disappointed with everything …"
Seeing this, Li Ang took a sip of coffee and sneered. Had Real Madrid's tradition of infighting started again?
Looking at Real Madrid's loss and the mess after losing the title, Li Ang felt an inexplicable sense of satisfaction.
This was not just because of the grudge between this vengeful person and his former employer.
It was also because after playing the Segunda División match against Leganés, Sporting de Gijón's next game was the Copa del Rey final!
In four days, they would go to the Bernabéu stadium to play the Galácticos Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey final!
This was the battle of revenge that Li Ang had been waiting for for a long time, the battle of revenge that he had dreamed of for a long time!
The summit of Bernabéu!
I, Li Ang, am back! Galácticos, I'm coming!
PS: Second update.
The Copa del Rey final is coming. Have everyone's monthly tickets arrived?!
