DO YOU KNOW THE PLAYER THAT LOST THE LAST MINUTE PENALTY THAT CAUSED DEPORTIVO LA CORONA THE 1993/1994 SEASON SPANISH PRIMERA LIGA TITLE?

Djukic stepping up to take the PK
Serbian Miroslav Đjukić made an odd history for Spanish Primera Liga high flying side Deportivo La Coruña in the 1993/1994 season. 

On May 14, 1994, in the league's last round, at home at the Estadio Riazor against Valencia CF, Đjukić missed a penalty kick in the game's last minute with a easy save from Jose Gonzalez (eventual 0–0 draw), as habitual taker Donato had already been replaced and second option Bebeto refused the responsibility. 

As a result, FC Barcelona were crowned champions instead, and the elegant defender left Deportivo La Coruña at the end of 1996/1997 season at the age of 31, as his contract was not renewed.



DO YOU KNOW HOW LONG DEPORTIVO LA CORONA SPENT IN THE SPANISH PRIMERA LIGA BEFORE IT GOT RELEGATED IN THE 2010/2011 SEASON?

From the 1991/1992 season, Deportivo La Coruña spent 20 consecutive seasons in the Spanish Primera Liga before it got relegated to the Spanish Segunda Liga in the 2010/2011 season finishing 18th. 

The club won their only Spanish Primera Liga title in the 1999/2000 season with Javier Irureta in charge. La Coruña also became the smallest Spanish city (population roughly 200.000 habitants), to have ever won the Primera Liga championship.
