The 2019-20 campaign for Las Palmas delivered a period of consolidation, with Los Amarillos securing a respectable 9th-place finish in the Segunda División under manager Pepe Mel, despite the season being interrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Leading the charge was the prolific veteran forward Rubén Castro, whose 15 crucial goals were pivotal, supported by the creative captain Jonathan Viera. Crucially, the season saw the emergence of a future world-class talent in 17-year-old Pedri, making it a defining, transitional chapter for the club as they celebrated their 70th anniversary in a memorable Hummel kit.
