This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence. You can read the original version in 🇪🇸 here. 45 minutes to decide everything. 45 minutes in which the future of two teams in LALIGA could change. Two cities are anxiously awaiting the fate of their teams: Leganés and Barcelona. And at halftime, luck is smiling on the south of Madrid. Advertisement Three goals from CD Leganés would keep the pepinero team in LALIGA. Borja Jiménez's squad is doing their part, taking advantage of the fact that RCD Espanyol can't get past a goalless draw at home against UD Las Palmas. The ball is now in the perico team's court, who need to react if they don't want to return to the Second Division just a year after being promoted from LALIGA. It's a FINAL in Cornellá. 📸 Alex Caparros - 2025 Getty Images

This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence. You can read the original version in 🇪🇸 here. If everything seemed bleak for RCD Espanyol in the first half, the second half was a completely different story. Two goals from the "pericos" secured their stay in the First Division for Manolo González's team.

All this on a Saturday when Leganés confirmed their relegation to the Second Division. After scoring three goals in the first half and dreaming of staying up, the "pepinero" team saw all their chances of avoiding relegation vanish in the second half. A cruel end to a year for Borja Jiménez's side, who return to the second tier a year after their promotion. A veces en la vida no vale con luchar hasta el final. El orgullo de este club y de esta ciudad nos hará volver a latir. Gracias por no rendiros. Aúpa Lega hoy y siempre. Volveremos. — C.D. Leganés (@CDLeganes) May 24, 2025 The disappointment at Butarque contrasts with the celebration in Barcelona. The RCDE Stadium erupted with joy (including a pitch invasion) after the final whistle. 📸 Alex Caparros - 2025 Getty Images
