Madrid: Ronaldo could be in for a tough time as a team owner in Spain.
With the former Brazil striker watching from the VIP tribunes, promoted Valladolid conceded an injury time goal in a 1-0 home loss to Alaves.
Valladolid remain winless — and scoreless — after four matches on their return to the top tier in Spain.
It was the team’s first match since the Brazil great became the club’s majority stakeholder and pledged to help the club succeed.
Ibai Gomez’s goal came three minutes into second-half added time in a fast breakaway that immediately followed a chance by Valladolid on a corner kick at the other end.
The small club from northern Spain had opened their top-flight campaign with a 0-0 draw at Girona. It followed that with a 1-0 home loss to Barcelona and then drew 0-0 at Getafe. Valladolid’s next game is at third-place Celta Vigo on Saturday.
