Ronaldo watched on as his newly-acquired Valladolid side crashed to a last-gasp La Liga defeat against Alaves.

Ronaldo, the Brazilian World Cup winner, recently bought a 51 per cent stake in the promoted club and took his seat in the stand at the Estadio Jose Zorrilla for the first time on Sunday.

But the three-time world player of the year could do little as Ibai Gomez struck in the third minute of injury time to snatch a dramatic late victory for the visitors.

Valladolid, still to win since returning to the top flight, had looked like clinging on for a point when Gomez struck on a counter-attack. Toni Villa had missed at the other end just moments earlier.

Elsewhere, Angel struck twice in the first half as Getafe claimed a 2-0 win over Sevilla in a compelling clash at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium.
The striker netted within three minutes of kick-off and doubled the visitors’ lead just before the interval.
