Real Valladolid, led by Brazilian football legend Ronaldo, secured their return to La Liga with a thrilling 3-2 victory over Villarreal B in a last-minute triumph on Sunday.
Ronaldo, a significant shareholder in Valladolid, saw his team regain promotion to the top division after being relegated to the second division in 2023. Trailing 2-1 as stoppage time approached, Victor Meseguer scored the equalizer, and Mamadou Sylla sealed the victory with a penalty, ensuring their promotion back to La Liga in the second-to-last round of second division fixtures.
In the upcoming weekend, Leganes, who are in second place, are in a favorable position to secure promotion alongside Valladolid when they face Elche. A mere draw would be adequate for Leganes to maintain their position ahead of third-placed Eibar in the promotion race.
