The locker room of UD Las Palmas is deeply affected after failing to achieve promotion. Captain Jonathan Viera, visibly emotional, acknowledged that this season was particularly significant for him, given the approaching end of his career. "I'm getting older, and logically, the end is closer, and for me, it was truly very special," he confessed, adding that it is "a pride to have played for so long and so many games with my team and for my people".
In a similar vein, midfielder Kirian Rodríguez described his state of mind as "Gutted, gutted inside, quite down." Rodríguez took the opportunity to "apologize to all the fans and all the teammates for not achieving the objective," which he considered was "to get promoted, no matter what".

Jesé Rodríguez also admitted feeling "quite hurt, I'm quite screwed up," but reminded that "this is football." The forward is already thinking about revenge and expressed his eagerness for the first day of preseason to arrive.

Despite the disappointment, the prevailing message within the squad is one of unity and resilience. Expressing gratitude for the unconditional support of the fans throughout the campaign, Jesé concluded with a message of hope: "We are Unión Deportiva Las Palmas, and surely we will be back where we deserve to be".
