The 2018-19 campaign delivered a glorious and hard-fought return to the top flight for Granada, with El Graná clinching a spectacular 2nd-place finish in the Segunda División, securing automatic promotion back to La Liga. Under the astute management of Diego Martínez, the team built their success on remarkable defensive solidity, conceding a league-best 28 goals all season. Leading the charge was the versatile Antonio Puertas, whose 10 goals proved vital in a campaign defined by consistency and a relentless push to reclaim their elite status. It was a standout year that marked the beginning of a successful new era for the club and remains a defining chapter in the history of the Nazaríes.
