'Sunderland' Till I Die ' is one of the most watched sports documentaries on Netflix . The spectators have already learned the adventures, the peculiarities and the excessive bad luck of the English club, but as in everything, it is never enough.

The Northern England team, winner of six leagues (the last in 1936) and finalist in the League Cup six years ago, where they lost to Manchester City, relegated to the Championship in 2017 after hovering around relegation for several seasons.

The directive made an effort to build a squad that would return the club, one of the most important in the Premier, to its natural place, but a series of misfortunes and poor results resulted in the second consecutive decline, forcing Sunderland to start 2018-2019, for the first time in its history, in League One , the third division of English football.

He managed to play the promotion playoff in his first year and even made it to the final, but lost to Charlton Athletic in injury time and lost the Football League Cup to Portsmouth on penalties.

This year, with all the options, money and motivation to return the club to the Championship, Sunderland was convinced that it would achieve the goal.

They were wrong.

After adding four consecutive victories in the month of February that placed him in Playoff positions, the team was unable to win any of the following four , falling in two and drawing another two.

As it happens, their last game against Bristol Rovers , which ended 2-0 against, was one of four games that were brought forward to Tuesday, May 10. By losing that game, Sunderland, which was 7th , which was tied on points with 7th and 9th and had only one point to three teams with 60 points , could not be placed momentarily within the Playoff. With a victory they would have tied with the second classified, in positions of direct promotion . "Next week will be," they thought.

And the coronavirus arrived .

League One stopped, like all the leagues in the world, and in Sunderland they eagerly awaited the return of the competition to try to return to the Championship. The decision has been lengthening until this week, those responsible for the league have agreed to the end of the championship . To determine which teams play the Playoff, a percentage of points will be made per game . And since Sunderland had more games played than the others and had lost the last one, it has not managed to qualify for the Playoff and will play another year in the third division of English football.

Interestingly, those responsible for 'Sunderland' Till I Die ' rejected the completion of a third season because the club had dropped to the third division and they were not going to have so many stories to tell ... They were also wrong.
