Barcelona brings back Elche to a bitter memory

 

Elche, who are at the bottom of the La Liga standings after losing to Barcelona last night by 3-0, did not occupy the last place in the tournament two years ago, when they fell in their first match in the tournament against Real Sociedad (0-3).

That season, Elche, who had just made it to the top flight weeks earlier, started La Liga two rounds behind so that he could enjoy his holiday and prepare for the new season.

In his first match, in the third round of the tournament at the time, Real Sociedad did not take any pity on an opponent who was still in the qualification stage after his rise in a match he played on September 26.

Later, Elche reacted, and although for months he remained in the relegation zone, he never returned after that to regress to the last place.

Last season, Elche was in the relegation zone for only two rounds of the Spanish championship, but never bottomed out.
