Málaga CF has achieved a historic promotion to LaLiga after a season marked by relegation in November. The team started their match against Mirandés in 20th position, but seven months later has signed one of the great stories of Spanish football by returning to LaLiga EA Sports. LaLiga Hypermotion, which is already past in Martiricos, is capable of tilting the balance in any direction. There are matches that change seasons and decisions with an unimaginable result like the difficult dismissal of Sergio Pellicer and the arrival of Juanfran Funes. The new Málaga CF of Funes linked a 1-1 in Valladolid, the elimination of the Cup against Talavera and another 1-1 against Zaragoza, this time conceding in the discount time. As time went on, the team was recognizable again, winning without distinction as a local or visitor and had to overcome many obstacles to reach the 23rd matchday as third classified. The Pellicer stage started with a shot, being leaders for moments while the result marked the victory against Granada on matchday 4. But that ended in a draw and was the start of a streak of five consecutive matches without winning, saved later by a triumph against Deportivo de La Coruña in La Rosaleda. The arrival of Funes was a turning point with a change of direction on the bench. The coach of the subsidiary that had the team as last classified in Segunda Federación had to take charge of a Málaga CF that saw in just over a month how it fell from the promotion playoff to the abyss. So, luck started to change. Einar Galilea emerged as a hero to score the 3-2 in the final seconds of the match at La Rosaleda and win again. The unforgettable second half in Albacete was the beginning of something very big: six consecutive victories, returning to being reliable away from home, to reach the 23rd matchday as third classified. Málaga CF will play the 2026/27 season in LaLiga. The final classification was a reflection of the great season the team had. Málaga CF finished in a position that allowed them to ascend to LaLiga EA Sports. The 2025/26 season will be remembered as one of the best in the club's history. The team demonstrated its ability to overcome obstacles and achieve great things. The feat of promotion to LaLiga is an achievement that will fill the fans of Málaga CF with pride. The team has to keep working to maintain its level and continue growing. The next season will be a new challenge for Málaga CF, but with confidence and teamwork, they can achieve great things.
