The 2005-06 campaign delivered immediate and triumphant redemption for Levante as Granotas surged to a crucial 3rd-place finish in the Segunda División, securing an instant return to the top flight of Spanish football. The promotion push was built on resilience and a gritty late-season run of 23 points in the final ten games. Spearheading the successful campaign was the powerful forward Riga Mustapha, whose 11 goals proved decisive in a season that marked a swift and glorious rebound for the club and remains a defining chapter of their modern history.
