1992–93 Real Zaragoza season
# 1992–93 Real Zaragoza season

The 1992–93 season was the 58th season in existence for Real Zaragoza competed in La Liga for 15th consecutive year, Copa del Rey and in the UEFA Cup for the first time since the 1989-90 edition.

## Summary

During summer the club became a SAD (Anonymous Sport Society) with Pikolin group grabbing a majority of shareholders electing Alfonso Solans as its new President. The newly arrived board transferred in several players such as: 1990 FIFA World Cup Champion Left back Defender Andreas Brehme from Internazionale (after failed movements to FC Barcelona and Atletico Madrid with his friends Johan Cruijff and Bernd Schuster respectively), Santiago Aragon from Real Madrid and midfielder Nayim from Tottenham Hotspur. Owing to a weak defensive line the squad finished on 9th spot in League far away from European spots for the next year. Meanwhile in UEFA Cup the squad reached the Eightfinals only to be eliminated by future runners-up Borussia Dortmund thanks to a great performance of Stephane Chapuisat.

Finally, in Copa del Rey the team reached the Final for the first time since 1986 only to be defeated by Real Madrid 0-2 at Estadio Luis Casanova in front of 42,000 fans.
