Real Valladolid were relegated to the Second Division after a 0-0 draw at home against Getafe. The equalizer did not serve the Pucela for the tie to three of Almeria in the field of Espanyol.
The change of coach when there was just over a third of the season, with the inexperienced Paulo Pezzolano instead of José Rojo Pacheta, did not give energy or football. The Brazilian president has been harshly criticized, with chants of "Ronaldo go now!", because the sports results have not been favorable.
