The 2008-09 campaign delivered a tense and hard-fought survival for Las Palmas as Los Amarillos finished 18th in the Segunda División, narrowly escaping relegation to the third tier. Leading the charge and single-handedly powering their attack was the prolific striker Marcos Márquez, whose incredible 21 goals proved decisive in a campaign built on sheer grit and a mid-season managerial change. It was a year defined by the enduring value of Márquez’s goals, which anchored the club's status in the professional ranks and remains a pivotal, stressful chapter in the history of Los Amarillos.
