The 2000-01 campaign delivered a vital return to the top flight for UD Las Palmas as Los Amarillos secured a respectable 11th-place finish in La Liga, marking their re-establishment after a twelve-year absence. Leading the charge was the homegrown talent Antonio Guayre, whose 8 goals proved decisive in a season built on consolidation and passion under manager Sergije Krešić. It was a successful year that immediately secured their top-flight status and remains a defining chapter of their modern history.
