The 2004-05 campaign saw Real Zaragoza, Los Maños, consolidate their place in La Liga by finishing a respectable 12th, a season defined by the continued emergence of a young superstar. Spearheading the attack was the prolific David Villa, whose 15 goals proved vital and who earned the iconic fan chant "Villa maravilla". The season also delivered immediate glory as the team clinched the Supercopa de España and enjoyed an exciting run to the UEFA Cup Round of 16, a campaign highlighted by Villa's crucial brace against Utrecht. This pivotal year marked the culmination of the striker's electrifying two-season spell and remains a defining, if bittersweet, chapter in the club's modern history before his move to Valencia.
