The 2004-05 campaign delivered a heartbreaking end for Levante as Granotas finished a perilous 18th in La Liga, resulting in immediate relegation just one season after their long-awaited return to the top flight for the first time in 39 years. Despite a spirited and often ambitious season, the club fell just two points short of safety. Leading the charge for goals was the young forward Sergio García, whose 7 crucial strikes anchored the attack in a difficult year. A particularly defining moment came late in the season when the champions, Barcelona, clinched the league title with a 1-1 draw at Levante's home, Ciutat de València, marking a bittersweet chapter in the club's modern history.
