First team
Málaga CF-Real Sporting de Gijón (1-0)

The epilogue of the 11/12 season was a dream. Pellegrini’s men defeated Sporting at La Rosaleda to reach the Club’s highest ever position in the elite (4th) and access to the preliminary round of the UEFA Champions League.

A header into goal from Salomón Rondón at the start of the second half unleashed euphoria amongst the fans who watched their team make the Malaguismo dream come true. It was the last League match of the season, 13th May 2012, which also served to bid farewell to world football legend Ruud van Nistelrooy, who played his final minutes as a professional, substituting goal-scorer, Rondón.

Hit play and enjoy!
