The 2006-07 campaign delivered an exciting return to European football for Real Zaragoza as Los Maños surged to a respectable 6th-place finish in La Liga, securing a coveted spot in the UEFA Cup. The season, which marked the return of manager Víctor Fernández, was defined by the stunning form of Argentine striker Diego Milito, whose phenomenal 23 goals earned him second place in the league's scoring charts. This attacking brilliance was backed by the midfield artistry of new signing Pablo Aimar and featured the loan debut of a young Gerard Piqué, cementing this as a memorable chapter of renewed ambition and high-stakes football at La Romareda.
