Valladolid, Las Palmas and Leganes were relegated to the second division in the 2024-25 season.
Just like most of the other top five leagues in Europe, such as the Bundesliga and the Italian Serie A, the bottom three teams at the end of the season are immediately relegated from La Liga. With it being a 20-team league, this means that the teams in positions 18, 19 and 20 are in the relegation zone. In the past, we have seen some pretty close battles on this front.
The 2024/25 season was another example of that, as just two points separated Leganes in 18th place and Getafe in 13th. The classic club Sevilla finished just one point ahead of the team, struggling big time after another disappointing season.
