Do you know what Sheffield United, Clermont, Darmstadt, Salernitana and Almeria have in common?Yes, you’re on point there – those are the bottom sides of each of Europe’s Big Five leagues. Still, there are certain differences among them.For example, Clermont have registered four victories in the Ligue 1 so far this season, one more than Sheffield and two more than Salernitana and Darmstadt. However, La Liga’s worst side, Almeira, top them all.🫂❤️🤍 Always Almeria 💪 #VamosAlmería pic.twitter.com/Uz1VRAkaZp— UD Almería (@UDAlmeria_Eng) March 17, 2024 Until yesterday, they were the only team among 96 in the mentioned five leagues without a single win!But Almeria’s misery ended on Sunday at Las Palmas as they celebrated a hard-fought 1-0 away victory thanks to Leo Baptistao’s 14th-minute winner.Despite victory on the road, they are still 20th and 14 points from safety with nine matches remaining.##NAJAVA_MECA_7965780##Almeria’s 31-match run (two in the last season together with 29 in the current campaign) is the longest winless streak in the division’s history, and they are now level with Sporting Gijon’s lowest-ever points tally from 1997-98.Pepe Mel led Almeria to a somewhat ‘historic’ victory in his first match in charge as their new boss. 🫡 coach #VamosAlmería 🔴⚪️ pic.twitter.com/yRF3prOxIw— UD Almería (@UDAlmeria_Eng) March 17, 2024 Before him, Vicente Moreno started the campaign at the helm, and Gaizka Garitano replaced him.”Winning today means a liberation (for the team) … winning three points and changing the dynamic,” said Mel.”I told them to enjoy football and that having fun was key.”This is the path for the nine finals in front of us, but not for the league table, because I think that won’t matter, but they are important games for pride, fans and the players.”The victory ensured Almeria will not tally fewer points than Derby County’s 11 in the Premier League in 2007-08, which is the lowest tally across Europe’s top leagues since teams started earning three points for a win.IT DOESN’T GET WORSE THAN THAT…La Liga – Almeria 1 winSerie A – Salernitana 2 winsBundesliga – Darmstadt 2 winsPremier League – Sheffield Utd 3 winsLigue 1 – Clermont 4 wins
