Messi‑Owned Cornellà Nears Promotion After ThrilGettorex Playoff
Argentinian icon Lionel Messi, now owner of UE Cornellà, is steering the club toward a promotion push. The side finished the regular season in third place with 60 points, securing a place in the promotion playoffs.
In the first leg against Vilanova, Cornellà earned a 1‑0 advantage, but the return match ended level after 90 minutes. The home side then endured extra time with ten men before finally progressing.
With only three games left, the Messi‑backed club is poised to clinch a spot in the Segunda RFEF.
