The 2014-15 campaign was a tense battle for survival, defined by a mid-season managerial change from José Luis Mendilibar to Lucas Alcaraz, but Levante ultimately secured their La Liga status with a crucial 14th-place finish. Leading the crucial fight was the veteran striker David Barral, whose 11 league goals proved absolutely vital in the desperate struggle to remain in the top flight. It was a season built on sheer grit and late-season determination that secured their place in the elite for another year.
