The Espanyol consummated their relegation to the Second Division with a defeat in the derby he played for Barça in the Camp Nou on 8 July. So, all levels of the club, starting with the players, apologized to the fans for what was the fifth loss of category in its entire history. Now, instead, the entity seems willing to hold onto a burning key to try to achieve permanence in the offices.

The blue and white club, through a statement on its official website, claims that all category downgrades be canceled. Espanyol stresses that the competition resumed to avoid economic damage , but wielded the last day of the Second Division , with the suspension of the match between Deportivo and Fuenlabrada, the lack of public in the stadiums and the fact of being, along with the Valencia, the team with the most First Division COVID-19 cases , as reasons to substantiate their request.

"Although it is true that the competition has been completed, except in the Second Division as we have pointed out, the situations that have occurred are hopelessly unfair in terms of sporting aspects, since in this league final there has been no competition in the the same conditions of equality as before the suspension ", assures Espanyol in its statement. The parakeet entity understands that the economic impact caused by the pandemic will also seriously affect the coming season and, therefore, it is considered doubly damaged.

"If we add to this the economic effect that a decrease implies, the accumulated punishment is devastating and unfair for those affected," the entity highlights. From his point of view, the existence of prizes, such as the League championship, the classification for European competitions or promotions, is understandable, but it is not the case of a punishment such as relegation. Something that, in his opinion, "doubly penalizes the most affected."

In his opinion, the only solution is that in the competitions organized by the League, as has already happened with the ones under the tutelage of the RFEF, the descents are eliminated . "The possible loss of income that a decision of this magnitude would imply can be compensated with the help of everyone with different formulas that would avoid the economic damage of the participants involved; one of the main concerns and arguments that the employers have upheld so far" , wield the club to support your request.
