Real Oviedo experienced a magical afternoon at the Carlos Tartiere in the first leg of the final for promotion to the First Division against Espanyol. The Carbayones fans began to win the game before the ball started rolling thanks to the performance of We will be back by Melendi.
The Asturian singer and favorite son of Oviedo has composed this eventual anthem to encourage his team to fight for a return to the top category of Spanish football. Yesterday, together with more than 29,000 people who supported him, he sang the song, creating a most emotional atmosphere.

3 minutes of pure emotion and tears
Staging. Melendi took the field with his fist raised and wearing the shirt of Borja Bastón, one of the fans’ local idols. Upon seeing the loud ovation that the audience gave him, the first tears began to flow from his eyes.

Epic in unison. After chanting his name, the fans and the dozens of bagpipers who occupied part of the field accompanied Melendi in singing the anthem. An epic moment that everyone present will surely remember for a lifetime.

Lyrics of the song. I have cut myself
and my blood comes out blue
since the day my father
He took me to Carlos Tartiere.
We will return to the First Division
because we deserve it
the team and its fans
we will return, we will return,
I will chant your name again
Hala Oviedo!, Real Oviedo,
your people never hide.
We can’t live like this
watching our team suffer.
We carry you in our hearts
and the hard thing is to see you like this.
Hala Oviedo!, with passion.
¡Hala Oviedo!, with cojones.
We put our heart.
I dreamed that they were reborn
carbayones hearts
with the pride of being
of the color, of the color of my childhood
the color of our life
blue that saw us grow
The match. The match was decided for the locals thanks to a solitary goal from Alexandre Zurawski in the 72nd minute. The Asturians will have to defend their advantage next Sunday at 6:30 p.m. at the Stage Front Stadium to be promoted to the First Division.
