After UD Almería moved closer to promotion with a 3-0 win over Cultural Leonesa in the Segunda División, co-owner Cristiano Ronaldo praised the team on social media. The victory lifted Almeria to 2nd after 29 matches, four points behind Racing Santander. Ronaldo, who owns 25 percent of the club, posted about the win.
In the latest boost to their promotion hopes, Cristiano Ronaldo sent a short but powerful message of support to UD Almería after the Spanish club moved closer to returning to La Liga. Almeria strengthened their position in the promotion race with an impressive 3-0 victory against Cultural Leonesa in the Segunda División. The win lifted the Andalusian side to 2nd place in the standings after 29 matches, putting them in the automatic promotion spots that guarantee a direct return to Spain’s top division.
The result continued Almeria’s strong run of form, as the team has now won 5 of its last 6 league matches. This surge has revived hopes of an immediate comeback after the club was relegated from La Liga in April 2024. The project has also gained major global attention following new investment and Ronaldo’s involvement in the club’s ownership. Earlier this year, Ronaldo purchased a 25 percent stake in Almeria through his investment company.
His arrival significantly boosted the club’s international presence, with Almeria’s Instagram following rising to about 3.2 million, making them the 5th most followed Spanish club behind giants like Real Madrid CF, FC Barcelona, Atlético Madrid, and Sevilla FC. After the win, Ronaldo posted a brief message on social media saying, “Great win today. We continue.” The statement reflected confidence as Almeria chase promotion, although they remain 4 points behind league leaders Racing Santander, with the season still tightly contested.
