The 2020-21 campaign was a season defined by a historic cup run for Levante, as Granotas reached the Copa del Rey semi-finals for only the second time in their history, alongside a 14th-place finish in La Liga. The talismanic captain, José Luis Morales, known as 'El Comandante', was the hero of the domestic league, notching 13 crucial goals to anchor the attack in a season built on the determined management of Paco López. It was a memorable year that saw the club establish itself as a consistent top-flight presence and remains a defining chapter of the 'El Comandante' era.
