Atlético de Madrid firmly re-established itself in La Liga thanks to a 7th place finish. The season saw Fernando Torres taking another step towards superstardom scoring 19 goals in the season during which he turned 20 years which led to a call-up to the Spanish squad for the EURO 2004. The finish was still not enough to satisfy the owner family Gil resulting in coach Gregorio Manzano unexpectedly getting the sack.
