The 2018-19 campaign was an historic season for Getafe, as the Azulones, under manager José Bordalás, achieved their highest-ever finish by surging to a spectacular 5th place in La Liga. This landmark position secured a coveted spot in the UEFA Europa League. Leading the charge was the sensational strike partnership of veterans Jorge Molina and new-signing Jaime Mata, who both fired in 14 crucial league goals apiece. It was a season built on relentless grit, defensive solidity, and a memorable push for the Champions League that fell just short on the final day, marking a defining chapter of the club’s spectacular modern history.
