The 2013-14 campaign delivered a devastating relegation for Real Betis as Los Verdiblancos finished rock bottom of La Liga in 20th place, ending their two-year stay in the top flight. Despite the turbulence of three different managers and a defense that conceded 78 goals, striker Rubén Castro's 10 league goals provided a rare source of attacking quality. The season's only bright spot was an unexpected run to the Europa League Round of 16, which ended with a penalty shoot-out loss to bitter city rivals Sevilla. It was an unforgettable year of turmoil that remains a painful but defining chapter in the club's history.
