Guillermo Ochoa's career comes to an end, raising the question of how he compares to Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo in terms of longevity. Guillermo Ochoa announced his retirement this week, closing out a 22-year professional career at 41 years old that saw him become one of the most recognizable goalkeepers in the sport. The Mexican made his professional debut for Club America on February 15, 2004, stopping in for a 3-2 win over Monterrey at the Azteca at just 18 years old. That same year also marked the beginning of another legendary career, as Lionel Messi made his first-team debut for Barcelona on October 16, 2004, coming on as a substitute in a 1-0 win at 17 years old. Both players, alongside Cristiano Ronaldo, would go on to define more than two decades of the sport, culminating in a shared piece of World Cup history at the 2026 tournament. Given the length of their careers, comparing sheer volume of matches played puts Ochoa’s longevity into perspective, even against two of the most durable players the sport has ever seen. Guillermo Ochoa #13 of Mexico is tossed into the air by his teammates. (Getty Images) Ronaldo leads the trio by a wide margin, having featured in roughly 1,330 official matches for club and country. Messi isn’t far off the pace either, sitting at close to 1,164 appearances across his time with Barcelona, PSG, Inter Miami and Argentina. Ochoa’s total, by contrast, sits at around 942 official appearances across his career, split between spells at Club America, Ajaccio, Malaga, Granada, Standard Liege, Salernitana, AVS and AEL Limassol, along with his time with the Mexican national team. The record that ties all three together Despite the gap in appearances, Ochoa, Messi and Ronaldo are bound by a shared achievement no other player has matched: all three became the only players in history to feature in six different World Cup editions, a run that stretches from 2006 through 2026. Where the trio differs is in playing time across those tournaments, with Ochoa featuring far less regularly than the other two, but his mere presence across six editions of the tournament was enough to place him in a category previously thought impossible to reach.

After a dramatic final day in the Segunda Division, the club secured a crucial league position that keeps promotion hopes intact and sets up a high-stakes postseason battle for a place in La Liga. Cristiano Ronaldo’s dream of seeing Almeria return to Spain’s top flight remains alive, but the road ahead is now clearly defined. After a dramatic final day in the Segunda Division, the club secured a crucial league position that keeps promotion hopes intact and sets up a high-stakes postseason battle for a place in La Liga. The Spanish club, in which Cristiano Ronaldo recently became a co-owner, endured an emotional afternoon before finally securing the opportunity to continue its promotion push. What comes next could determine whether Almeria returns to the elite level of Spanish soccer after four years away. Almeria entered the final round knowing that a place in the promotion playoffs was far from guaranteed. Despite occupying a strong position in the standings, results elsewhere threatened to derail the club’s ambitions throughout the afternoon. As scores unfolded across Spain, the Rojiblancos slipped down the live table and briefly found itself outside the playoff places. At various moments, the club dropped from third to fourth, then fifth, sixth, and even seventh place, leaving promotion hopes hanging by a thread. The tension inside the stadium grew as rival clubs continued to win their matches. Almeria needed a breakthrough and knew that one goal could completely change the picture. Arribas’ goal to be crowned top scorer and secure a place in the play-offs 👑⚽#LALIGAHighlights pic.twitter.com/2oOjO3dn3I— UD Almería (@UDAlmeria_Eng) June 2, 2026 That decisive moment arrived shortly after halftime when Sergio Arribas converted a penalty, giving Almeria a 1-0 victory over Real Valladolid and securing third place in the final Segunda Division standings. The result represented a massive achievement considering the pressure surrounding the occasion. After suffering consecutive defeats before the final round, Almeria responded when it mattered most. One promotion spot remains While Racing Santander secured the Segunda Division title and Deportivo La Coruna earned automatic promotion by finishing second, only one promotion place remains available. That final spot will now be contested by Almeria, Malaga, Las Palmas, and Castellon, with only one club eventually joining Racing and Deportivo in next season’s La Liga. The playoff system has been part of Spanish soccer since 2011 and consistently delivers dramatic finishes. This season appears no different, especially considering how competitive the race remained until the very last day. Almeria’s journey almost ended before it truly began, but Arribas’ penalty ensured the club remains in contention.

Almeria earned home advantage throughout the promotion playoffs, a significant benefit under Segunda Division regulations. If a tie remains level on aggregate after both matches and extra time, the higher-ranked team advances automatically. That means their league position could prove decisive if any playoff encounter becomes deadlocked. The club’s players and supporters celebrated the achievement, knowing they had successfully completed the first stage of their mission. However, the most difficult challenge is still ahead. The playoff path is now confirmed With the regular season officially concluded, the promotion playoff bracket has been finalized. Almeria will face Castellon in the playoff semi-finals, while Malaga will take on Las Palmas in the other semifinal. The first leg between Almeria and Castellon will be played at Castalia Stadium on Saturday, June 6, with the return leg scheduled next Tuesday, June 9, at t
