Cristiano Ronaldo-backed Almeria take step towards LaLiga promotion
"Great win today. We continue. - Cristiano Ronaldo on Instagram following Almeria's 3-0 victory over Cultural Leonesa, expressing satisfaction with the team's performance and commitment to continued success in their promotion push."
"This is where we all want to be, but the important thing is to be there by matchday 42. We have to keep our feet on the ground because there are 39 points left to play for. The squad is ready. We've brought in young players, but also veterans, who have arrived with the enthusiasm of a child."
UD Almeria achieved a 3-0 victory over Cultural Leonesa, marking their fifth win in six league games and securing second place in Spain's second division. This position guarantees automatic promotion to LaLiga at season's end. Cristiano Ronaldo, who acquired a 25% stake in the club earlier this month, congratulated the team on social media. The club, relegated in April 2024 and acquired by a Saudi Investment group in May 2025, now sits four points behind leaders Racing Santander after 29 matches. Coach Juan Francesc Ferrer emphasized maintaining focus despite the strong position, noting 39 points remain available and the squad combines young talent with experienced veterans.
