The football season in Lleida has concluded, leaving a bittersweet taste due to the team's relegation to the sixth tier, yet with the pride of a fanbase that has maintained its unconditional loyalty.

The season's closing has been likened to a Greek tragedy, where fate seemed unavoidable despite efforts to prevent it. With only 25 points, relegation was confirmed, but this did not deter supporters from accompanying the team to the Camp d'Esports, in a display of support that felt more like a celebration than a farewell.

When you set out for the journey to Ithaca, you must pray that the road is long, full of adventures and knowledge.

This season has served as a reminder of the importance of humility against rivals and the ability to celebrate every victory as a title. The steadfast resistance of Lleida's fans, in the context of non-professional football far from the major media spotlight, underscores a spirit of struggle, effort, and sacrifice considered essential for the community.
In an era dominated by immediacy and the infinite scroll of social media, sport still offers the opportunity to practice patience and to accept that long-term goals require perseverance. The pride in the fans' behavior is palpable, with the conviction that, despite the difficulties, better times will come, and forces can be united to face a new stage with enthusiasm.
After all that has been experienced, it is felt that football owes a debt to the city of Lleida, hoping that the next season will bring new hopes and joys.
