The 1993–94 season was the 59th season in existence for Real Zaragoza competed in La Liga for 16th consecutive year and Copa del Rey.
Summary
The club had one of the best seasons since the 1960's, the team winning its 4th Copa del Rey after defeating Celta de Vigo[1] in the 1994 Copa del Rey Final on penalties and finishing 3rd in La Liga behind champions FC Barcelona and Deportivo La Coruña. During the summer, the squad was reinforced with Forward Juan Eduardo Esnaider[2] y Juanmi from Real Madrid and after the departure of Andreas Brehme, they replaced him with Fernando Cáceres[3] from CA River Plate, those three arrivals on loan.
After starting the league campaign with no wins from the first five matches and the fans asking for his sacking, manager Victor Fernandez changed the squad into a more offensive unit with three forwards Pardeza, Esnaider and Higuera. Those tactic changes worked brilliantly, bringing standout results like the 6-2 win against Tenerife, a massive 6-3 win against Barcelona and a shocking 4-0 win against Atletico Madrid at Vicente Calderon stadium. In the last match the squad defeated Real Madrid by 4-1, clinching the third spot for the first time since 1973.[4] Another record for the team was 71 league goals scored.
