Ronaldo’s Real Valladolid Relegated from LaLiga After Heavy Defeat

Real Valladolid, owned by former Brazilian striker Ronaldo Nazário, has been relegated from LaLiga following a devastating 5-1 defeat to Real Betis. This marks the club’s third relegation in seven years under Ronaldo’s ownership. Reports suggest that Ronaldo is currently negotiating the sale of the club.

Fans Blame Ronaldo for Club’s Decline

Supporters of Valladolid have voiced strong criticism of Ronaldo, accusing him of being too absent and not sufficiently involved in the club’s management. The team, now rooted at the bottom of the table, has endured a disastrous run of form, losing 13 of their last 14 matches with a goal difference of -57.

Instability on the Sidelines Adds to Struggles

This season has been particularly turbulent, marked by two managerial changes. After parting ways with Diego Cocca and Paulo Pezzolano, the club appointed Álvaro Rubio—a former Valladolid player—as head coach in February.

“We can’t make excuses. We didn’t play up to the level of the first division,” said Rubio. “We have to take responsibility and accept that we didn’t do things well. We must try to get back up and finish the season with dignity.”

Meanwhile, Real Betis celebrated their second consecutive win, climbing to fifth place in the standings. Isco was among the goalscorers, contributing to the team’s dominant display.
