Look at the distance between second place and Sevilla Atlético, inches from relegation zone. Crazy tight race, which is actually a good thing for us, as it looks like our boys are hitting better form in sync with the first team.
Mendilibar that good, his arrival even revamped the youth teams apparently.
Not following it extensively, but suddenly good results posted on here lol.
Next game will be very tough. Torremolinas will be at home and fighting for their last prayer of staying up… Will be a war. Final match at home against an already relegated Mancha we could feel a bit more confident, but leaving it all for the final match would be VERY nervy.
Btw, I realize now that the above post is stupid since the table is right above my post. So clearly we can’t end 17th is the answer to my dumb question.
Hoping for 6 points and a happy-ish ending to this miserable season for both teams.
Thanks for the explainer…even my follow-up post revealed my ignorance of how this league actually works. I had assumed the playoff was among 13-14-15-16th places or something like that. But I had forgotten there are a small army of Segunda B’s all joined in the playoff to avoid relegation.
Anyhow, ignore my posts above…whether or not we can end 17th is irrelevant…the goal is to end 12th. Vamos.
Btw, if Málaga can’t pull out a win today against Ponferradina, they basically are confirmed to relegation…to third division (Segunda, I think it’s called these days? Or Liga RFEF?)
Crazy to imagine a team that some said was the next Man City (investors taking over a weakish team and making it great) take such a turn for the worst. Not to say I ever bought into the investor hype, but certainly never expected it to get this bad for Málaga.
