Reial Club Deportiu Espanyol de Barcelona B, S.A.D. is the reserve team of RCD Espanyol. Unlike the English League, reserve teams in Spain play in the same football pyramid as their senior team rather than a separate league.

However, reserve teams cannot play in the same division as their senior team. Therefore, the team is ineligible for promotion to the first division, also not being able (although it was possible in the past) to compete in the Copa del Rey.

[edit] History

In 1981, Futbol Club Cristinenc was created in Santa Cristina d'Aro. The club had a speedy progression through the lower divisions until it reached the fourth category. Meanwhile, it had also become a feeder club for RCD Espanyol.

In 1991, the name was changed to "Cristinenc-Espanyol", being re-named RCD Espanyol B three years later, while also gaining reserve team status for RCD Espanyol.
