Deportivo de La Coruna, founded in 1906, is one of the most storied clubs in Spanish football history. Based in A Coruna, Galicia, they play at Estadio Abanca-Riazor, a historic 34,611-capacity coastal stadium. The club's golden era came under coach Javier Irureta in the late 1990s and early 2000s: they won the La Liga title in 1999-2000 and reached the UEFA Champions League semi-finals in 2003-04, famously defeating AC Milan on aggregate after losing the first leg 4-0. Known as Super Depor, the club also won the Copa del Rey in 2002. Players like Roy Makaay, Rivaldo, Mauro Silva, and Djalminha were central to that era. After financial difficulties and relegations, Deportivo returned to the Segunda Division in recent years, rebuilding with the ambition of returning to La Liga and recapturing their former glory.
