Why did Cristiano Ronaldo celebrate Almería's important victory in LaLiga Hypermotion?
A few weeks ago, Cristiano Ronaldo surprised everyone with a new move in the world of soccer. This time it wasn't for his goals, plays, or injury, but for announcing that he had acquired 25% of Unión Deportiva Almería in LaLiga Hypermotion , the Spanish second division, on February 26.
Now, his team has achieved a great 3-0 victory over Cultural Leonesa , placing them second in the table, and the 41-year-old Portuguese player couldn't be happier or prouder.

Four points behind leaders Racing Santander and three points ahead of third-placed Castellón , CR7's team's position in the table guarantees them direct promotion to the top flight, LaLiga , which they are looking to return to after a two-year absence.
For this reason, the club's new owner since February decided to publicly congratulate Almería and shared this achievement with his 672 million followers on Instagram .
In his stories, CR7 posted a photo of the team celebrating on the field and gathered in a big group hug for this victory. In addition, the Al Nassr star wrote in Spanish:
" Gran victoria hoy. Seguimos @audalmeria" [Great victory today. We're still going @audalmeria] ," along with red and white emojis in honor of the club.
His new acquisition was made through CR7 Sports Investments, a new subsidiary of CR7 SA, at the end of February, and in his statement he said:
" I have long had the ambition to contribute to soccer beyond the field. UD Almería is a Spanish club with a strong foundation and clear growth potential. I look forward to working with the team that leads it to support the club in its new phase of growth, " Cristiano said in the text, according to ESPN .
Meanwhile, CR7 is in Spain after traveling to Madrid to treat his hamstring injury following Al Nassr's last match against AlFayha (3-1), where he had to be replaced.
He is expected to miss Al Nassr's match against Al-Khaleej on Saturday and is doubtful for Portugal's last two friendlies before the World Cup against Mexico and USMNT on March 28 and 31, respectively.
