The 2007-08 campaign was a season of immense turbulence and desperate consolidation for Celta Vigo as Os Celestes battled their way to a nervy 16th-place finish in the Segunda División. Following their relegation, the club was in deep financial crisis, forced to make tremendous cuts and sell key players, with the shadow of potential liquidation looming over Balaídos. Leading the attacking charge with vital goals in this challenging environment was the veteran striker José Jesús Perera, whose 15 goals proved crucial in securing their hard-fought survival in the Spanish second tier. It was a high-stakes, stressful year that marked a period of painful transition and remains a defining chapter in the club's modern fight for existence.
