The 2015-16 campaign delivered a tense, mid-table finish for Real Valladolid as Pucela ultimately finished 16th in the Segunda División. Leading the charge was the clinical forward Juan Villar, whose 15 league goals proved decisive in securing the club's second-tier status in a season marked by defensive challenges. Villar's highlights included his first professional hat-trick against Real Oviedo, and the season remains a chapter of fighting spirit, notably featuring a young Kepa Arrizabalaga in goal and the club's new Hummel kits.
