The 2020-21 campaign was an unprecedented season for Granada as El Graná, under the passionate leadership of Diego Martínez, defied history to finish 9th in La Liga while embarking on a maiden, unforgettable European adventure. Anchored by the veteran intensity of Roberto Soldado, whose 9 goals led the team in the league, the club achieved an historic Quarter-final spot in the UEFA Europa League, defeating Napoli and Molde before ultimately being eliminated by Manchester United. This deep continental run, alongside a quarter-final appearance in the Copa del Rey, firmly established the Rojiblancos on the European stage and remains a legendary chapter in the club's modern history.
