The 2020-21 campaign was a turbulent season of consolidation for Real Zaragoza, with Los Maños ultimately finishing 15th in the Segunda División, a struggle marked by the appointment of three different head coaches, Rubén Baraja, Iván Martínez, and Juan Ignacio Martínez. The attack was anchored by the newly-signed Juanjo Narváez, whose 9 crucial goals in his debut season proved vital in securing their second-tier status following a tense relegation battle. It was a pivotal year of transition that re-established the club's footing in the division and highlighted the enduring importance of a talismanic figure like Narváez.
