Football club Deportivo from La Coruna secured its return to Spain's top division a week ago. This club has played a notable role in Spanish football over the last 30 years. In 2000, under the guidance of the great Javier Irureta, the Galicians won La Liga, after which they stayed in the top 3 of the elite division of Spain for several years. Experienced fans remember how, in the 2004 Champions League knockout stage, the draw matched Deportivo with the then-defending tournament winner - Milan, which was packed with world-class stars. Andriy Shevchenko and his teammates then crushed the guests from La Coruna at San Siro 4-1, but in the return leg the Galicians rang out across Europe, taking a convincing 4-0 revenge and stripping the Italian side of the crown. Since then, fate has tested this club considerably. Deportivo left La Liga several times, and in 2020 it plunged into the depths of the third division. The upcoming match will be a celebratory event in La Coruna, where everything lives with the anticipation of the team's first matches in the elite. Moreover, Deportivo in the last round could become Segunda champion, for which it needs to beat Las Palmas, and the leading Racing must lose to Cadiz at Cadiz's home. Deportivo has less motivation than its opponent, but clearly does not intend to bow to them in front of its own fans in the last match of the football year. Moreover, a twelve-match unbeaten run and a four-match winning streak indicate the excellent form of the players from La Coruna. Las Palmas last season were relegated from La Liga and want to return there immediately. The current fifth place would allow the islanders to take part in the playoff for the right to compete in La Liga, but it still needs to be secured. A defeat in La Coruna could lead to the team being dropped from the top-6 of the division. This will happen if Castellon, Burgos and Eibar win their matches. To avoid risk, the guests need to win or, under other conditions, at least draw. In the first leg, Las Palmas and Deportivo ended in a 1-1 draw, exchanging goals in the first half. In the last three meetings the islanders have won only once, although they were motivated to a degree no less than now. The home side will not lose their festive match.
