The 2007-08 campaign was a season of agonizing ambition for Real Sociedad as urdinak fought to secure an immediate return to the top flight following relegation. They finished a strong but ultimately disappointing 4th in the Segunda División, narrowly missing the coveted promotion spot. Leading the charge was the prolific centre-forward Iñigo Díaz de Cerio, whose crucial 16 goals spear-headed the team's attack. It was a year built on the hope of resurgence that ultimately fell just short, but it remains a defining chapter in the club's determined push back toward La Liga.
