Deportivo Alavés and RCD Mallorca Relegated from LaLiga

Two Historic Clubs Fall to Segunda División

Deportivo Alavés and RCD Mallorca have been relegated from LaLiga after a disappointing season. Both clubs have a rich history in Spanish football, but they were unable to avoid the drop this year.

Deportivo Alavés

Deportivo Alavés was founded in 1921 and has spent most of its history in the lower divisions of Spanish football. The club enjoyed a brief spell in the top flight in the 1930s, but it was not until the 2016-17 season that Alavés returned to LaLiga.

Alavés had a successful first season back in the top flight, finishing ninth. However, the club has struggled since then and has been fighting against relegation for the past two seasons. This season, Alavés finished 18th in the table, which was not enough to avoid relegation.

RCD Mallorca

RCD Mallorca was founded in 1916 and has spent most of its history in the top flight of Spanish football. The club won the Copa del Rey in 2003 and finished runners-up in the UEFA Champions League in 2004.

However, Mallorca has struggled in recent years and was relegated to the Segunda División in 2013. The club returned to LaLiga in 2019, but it was unable to avoid relegation this season. Mallorca finished 19th in the table, which was not enough to stay in the top flight.

What's Next for Deportivo Alavés and RCD Mallorca?

Deportivo Alavés and RCD Mallorca will now play in the Segunda División next season. Both clubs will be hoping to bounce back to LaLiga at the first attempt.

Deportivo Alavés has a strong squad and should be one of the favorites for promotion next season. RCD Mallorca will also be hoping to challenge for promotion, but the club will need to strengthen its squad in the summer transfer window.

The relegation of Deportivo Alavés and RCD Mallorca is a blow to LaLiga. Both clubs have a rich history in Spanish football and their absence from the top flight will be felt.
