Both footballers started in the match that culminated in a hard-fought victory for the red and white team, marking a memorable day for their careers in Almería. These anniversaries underscore their commitment and journey with the club.

Arnau Puigmal, the Catalan winger, joined Almería in the 2021-2022 season, the year of promotion to Primera División. Although he trained in the RCD Espanyol de Barcelona youth academy, he came directly from Manchester United's reserve team. Over five seasons as an Indálico player, with a six-month loan spell at Elche CF in the 2023-2024 campaign, Puigmal has proven his worth, with last season being his most active with 39 league appearances. At 25 years old, and with his contract ending this season, the club appears set to secure his renewal.

Meanwhile, Adrián Embarba joined the team in the 2022-2023 season, playing a crucial role in the club's survival in the top flight, remembered for his decisive penalty at Cornellá-El Prat. Following relegation in 2023-2024, he agreed to a loan move to Rayo Vallecano, returning last summer with the goal of achieving another promotion. Despite a period of lower performance, in his third year with UDA, he has achieved his best historical goal tally with eleven goals. At 33 years old, Embarba has two more years remaining on his contract, until June 2028.
