The 2020-21 campaign was a turbulent, frustrating year for Getafe as the Azulones slumped to a 15th-place finish in La Liga, marking a difficult end to a successful era. Failing to build on three consecutive top-half finishes, the team battled inconsistency under manager José Bordalás, with key wins like the 3-0 demolitions of Real Betis and Valencia proving rare highlights in a season defined by defensive grit. Leading the attack were the reliable veteran forwards Ángel Rodríguez and Jaime Mata, who each grabbed 5 crucial league goals. It was a pivotal chapter that sadly saw the departure of the iconic José Bordalás, bringing an end to the manager's transformative five-year tenure at the club.
