The following judges have decided that the Almeria Genuine team are the big winners: Fernando Sanz, president of Fundacion LaLiga, Felipe Martín, director of sponsorships, events and RRSS of Santander España; Miguel Justribó, Head of Communication and CSR at Telepizza; Santi Millán, actor, presenter and comedian; Gema Hassen-Bey, Paralympic medallist and communicator; as well as Jesús Vidal, actor and winner of a Goya Award in 2018 for his role in the Spanish film ‘Campeones’ (‘Champions’), a comedy about a basketball team featuring talented actors with developmental disabilities.

UD Almería Genuine entered the talent show with the song 'Liga de Valores', composed and performed by the Rojiblanco player Dani Aguilar - with the choreography of the Indálico football player Miguel Ángel López – whose music style mixes rap and trap. The author wanted to share with the lyrics his personal experience of overcoming bullying at school and the presence of the UDA Foundation in LaLiga Genuine Santander being key during his recovery.
