Football career

A product of La Liga powerhouse Real Madrid, skilled Corona never made it past its C and B sides, being signed by Real Zaragoza in 2001–02, but would only amass 33 top flight matches for the Aragonese side during four seasons, with loans in the second division in between (one season with Polideportivo Ejido, six months with Albacete Balompié).

In 2006–07, Corona was loaned again, to UD Almería, being instrumental in the Andalusia outfit's first ever promotion to the top level. He reunited with former Zaragoza teammate Fernando Soriano for 2007–08, and the move was made permanent after the season's end,[1] with Almería finishing eighth.

Corona scored his first top flight goal with a header, in a 9 March 2008 1–2 defeat at CA Osasuna, his season only. He continued to be a regular for Almería in the subsequent seasons, often starting but rarely finishing a game.

On 19 January 2011, Corona scored one of Almería's most important goals, in a 3–2 win at Deportivo de La Coruña (4–2 on aggregate), with the club reaching the semifinals of the Copa del Rey for the first time ever.[2] On 9 April, through a counter-attack, he opened the score for the last-placed team at FC Barcelona - his second goal of the season - but the hosts eventually won it 3–1, and Almería eventually suffered relegation after a four-year stay.[3]
