The 2014-15 campaign delivered a tense, successful battle for survival for Deportivo as Depor, newly promoted to La Liga after a one-year absence, secured a vital 16th-place finish. The season, which included a change of manager mid-campaign, culminated in a dramatic final-day draw at the Camp Nou against champions FC Barcelona, where they came from two goals down to secure the crucial point needed to guarantee their top-flight status. Leading the fight was the local hero Lucas Pérez, who in his long-awaited debut season for his home club, scored the first goal of the comeback in that memorable 2-2 draw, finishing the year as the top goalscorer with 6 goals. It was a defining chapter that re-established Depor in Spain's elite.
