The 2013-14 campaign was a tumultuous season of survival for Getafe as the Azulones ultimately secured their La Liga status with a nerve-wracking 13th-place finish, their 10th consecutive year in the top flight. The year was defined by a mid-season managerial change from Luis García Plaza to club legend Cosmin Contra, who inspired a crucial turnaround. Leading the attack were joint-top league scorers Ángel Lafita and Pedro León, whose seven goals each proved vital, culminating in a dramatic final-day victory away at Rayo Vallecano to secure their hard-fought permanence and mark a defining chapter in the club's history of fighting for survival.
