The two best qualified teams to be relegated, Albacete and Valladolid were readmitted to La Liga. Later, Sevilla and Celta Vigo claimed that according to the law[3] they had another 15 working days because they made allegations days before. Finally, the solution[4] was to not relegate any involved team and expand the league to 22 teams for the next two seasons.
