Levante's Return to La Liga: Morales's 'Rat' Celebration and Unforgettable Moments
Levante's La Liga Return: Morales's 'Rat' Celebration Caps Unforgettable Season Levante UD's triumphant return to La Liga after a three-year absence was marked by an unusual and memorable celebration. Veteran striker José Luis Morales, whose return to the club proved crucial to their promotion, took to the balcony and famously shouted into a microphone, "Morales is a rat!" This seemingly self-deprecating chant, echoing a similar incident involving Pezzolano and Valladolid's promotion last year, resonated deeply with fans. Morales's journey back to Levante was a significant factor in their success. After leaving for Villarreal in 2022 following Levante's relegation, his return was met with mixed emotions. His 12 goals this season proved pivotal in securing promotion. "It was a tough time leaving," Morales reportedly said in a post-match interview, "but coming back and helping my team achieve this is incredibly rewarding." The video captures the raw emotion of the moment, highlighting the chant's transformation from a potentially offensive remark into a symbol of unity and pride among Levante fans. The video also shows other key moments of the season, such as the return of Iborra and Carlos Álvarez's stunning goal. These highlights, combined with the emotional climax of Morales's celebration, encapsulate the dramatic and ultimately joyful journey of Levante's return to La Liga. This season's success demonstrates the resilience and determination of the team and its fans, culminating in a night that will be remembered for years to come.
