So I decided to dig into the history between Deportivo Alaves and Levante UD. I’ve always been curious about their matchups, especially the really big wins and the tough losses.
Starting the deep dive
First thing I did was fire up my laptop. I went straight to a few football stats sites I usually trust. I just typed in the two team names and started scrolling. Man, there were a lot of games to look through.
Sifting through the results
I started making a list in a simple text file. I wasn’t looking for every single game, just the ones that really stood out. I wanted the matches where one team absolutely crushed the other, or maybe a heartbreaking last-minute loss.
I found a bunch of them:
- That one big Alaves win: I found this match from a few seasons back where Alaves won 4-0. The stats showed they were completely dominant from start to finish.
- Levante’s revenge: There was another game where Levante turned the tables and won 3-0 away from home. That must have been a tough day for Alaves fans.
- The close calls: I also noted down a couple of 2-1 games that could have gone either way. These are sometimes more interesting than the big blowouts.
Putting it all together
After I had my list of key games, I started building the timeline. I just went season by season, placing each big win or loss in order. It was kinda cool to see the pattern, how one team would have a good run for a bit, and then the other would bounce back.
I double-checked all the dates and scores because I hate getting stuff wrong. It’s easy to mix up seasons when you’re looking at so much data. Once I was sure everything was accurate, I wrote up a short summary for each major game on my timeline.
And that was pretty much it. It took a couple of hours, but now I have a clear picture of their biggest moments. It’s not just a list of scores anymore; it’s a story of their rivalry.
