Overview edit

In July 2003, due to the financial difficulties, Real Sporting sold David Villa to Zaragoza by €2.5m[1]

On 15 February 2004, in the game at Algeciras, Roberto beat the record for the longest clean sheet in Real Sporting at 727 minutes.[2]

On 23 May 2004, Real Sporting earned one point at SD Eibar in the additional time, in a game where the rojiblancos ended with eight players after the referee sent off Yago, Cristian Díaz and David Bauzá in ten minutes.[3]

Real Sporting ended the season in the fifth position, finally failing to promote and with 13 red cards.
