It was no fairy-tale season though; Recre finished bottom of the table and were relegated, with only 21 points from 34 games. They won just 8 games all season, 7 of those at home.

The 2000s was a golden age for Recre, but it nearly didn't happen.
The club was relegated to the 3rd tier in 1999/2000, but Atleti's relegation to the 2nd tier meant the Atleti reserve team was ejected. Recre kept its place and in 2002 was promoted to La Liga

However, this season was all about the Copa del Rey. Remarkably, Recre made it to the final
