Countdown + upgrade in advance! The first newly promoted team in La Liga: 117-year-old brand returns after 3 years

The five major league schedules for the 24-25 season have ended all the competitions, and the national league champions, Champions League seats and relegation quotas have also been settled. At the same time, when the season ended in the Championship and Serie B, the Spanish Second Division was born in the first upgraded team. In the penultimate round of the Segunda Division, Levante scored a key win and returned to La Liga after 3:2.

There are 22 teams participating in the Segunda League. Although they are not as good as the 24 teams in the Championship, the number of league games in the entire season has reached 42 games. This season, the competition for the upgrades in the Segunda League is extremely fierce. Even if Levante ranks first, the lead is only 2 points, which keeps the competition going until the last two rounds. Before the start of the 41st round, Levante ranked 1st in 73 points and led third Milandes with 2 points; in order to upgrade in advance, in addition to winning, he also had to hope that the team behind him would fall behind. In the 41st round, Levante came away against Burgos, who ranked in the middle of the rankings, but played extremely tenaciously. In this game, Levante was even in a passive situation for a long time, and was still behind 1:2 in the first 80 minutes. Until the 85th minute, 37-year-old veteran Morales assisted Brugi to equalize; in the 7th minute of injury time, Carlos Alvarez scored a long-range shot in the world wave and scored the winning goal, Levante defeated his opponent in 97 minutes away.

Milandes, who ranked third at the same time, was tied, so Levante expanded his advantage to 4 points, thus completing the upgrade one round ahead of schedule! Levante has become the first team to be promoted in the Segunda Division this season; Levante was relegated from La Liga in 2021-22; Levante ranked third in the Segunda Division in 2022-23, but was defeated by Alaves in the second leg of the upgrade play-off final in 129 minutes and missed the upgrade; Levante ranked only eighth in the Segunda Division and missed the upgrade play-off.

Now, Levante returns to the La Liga after three years, and their highest ranking in the all-time La Liga is sixth in the 11-12 season. However, as a 117-year-old team, Levante is a famous lift in La Liga. Entering the 21st century, Levante has been promoted to La Liga five times, but has also been relegated four times. Moreover, their finances are not very healthy now. If they do not resolve them in time and introduce new players, it may not be impossible to relegate again next season.
