Segunda División 2023/24 belonged to Leganés, champions with 74 points after holding an automatic-promotion place for the final 31 matchdays, while newly promoted Racing de Ferrol turned its return to professional football into a remarkable tenth-place finish.

At the bottom, Amorebieta and Alcorcón went straight back down, while FC Andorra and Villarreal B joined them in Primera Federación. The four relegated clubs finished within two points of each other: one very crowded trapdoor.

xTears Curiosities

  1. 1The complete edition generated 5,771.80 xT across 468 matches. Segunda cleared the 5,000-xT mark with plenty of suffering to spare.
  2. 2Sporting de Gijón 2-3 Racing de Santander was the wildest xTears match with 28.38 xT and also produced the season's referee-chaos peak at 7.76 xT. An Asturian-Cantabrian derby with the emotional brakes removed.
  3. 3Racing de Santander 0-0 Levante was pure anesthesia: no goals and just 3.39 xT, the lowest emotional temperature of the season.
  4. 4Racing de Ferrol 5-4 Albacete was the chaos peak at 17.83 xT: nine goals, a 20th-minute red card and final blows at 90+4 and 90+9. Even stoppage time demanded an encore.
  5. 5Valladolid 0-0 Espanyol turned a goalless draw into the season's disciplinary meltdown: 12.79 discipline xT, 13 cards, a dismissal and a penalty overturned by VAR. The goals stayed home; the paperwork did not.
  6. 6Valladolid 3-2 Villarreal B owned late drama with 13.29 xT. Valladolid trailed in stoppage time, scored twice and turned a collapsing afternoon into automatic promotion.
  7. 7Elche 2-1 Tenerife delivered the sharpest scoreline-versus-xTears reversal. Tenerife generated 9.30 xT to Elche's 4.54 and still lost. The pain meter backed the wrong winner.
  8. 8Espanyol generated a competition-high 314.75 xT across the league and play-offs, while Racing de Santander absorbed the most pressure with 308.00 xT against and had the highest average match temperature at 14.40 xT.
  9. 9Peque Fernández led the individual xTears ranking with 46.39 xT and scored 18 goals for Racing de Santander. One breakout season, every emotional dial turned up.
