The third and final club to have sealed promotion back to the top-flight of Spanish football for next season has on Sunday night been confirmed.
The outfit in question? Espanyol.
The 2nd leg of the La Liga 2 promotion playoff final played to completion a short time ago, Espanyol playing host to Real Oviedo.
It was the latter who headed into proceedings in possession of the advantage, owing to a hard-fought 1-0 first-leg triumph.
When all was said and done on Sunday, however, the visitors to the Stage Front Stadium could not hold onto their lead.
Instead, a quick-fire double on the part of Javi Puado on the stroke of the interval proved enough to guide Espanyol to the right side of a 2-0 result, and with it, a place back in La Liga.
Looking ahead to next season, as much of course means that the highly-anticipated Derbi Barceloní will be back on the agenda, between heavyweights Barcelona, and the returning Espanyol.
