The 1955–56 season was Real Madrid Club de Fútbol's 53rd season in existence and the club's 25th consecutive season in the top flight of Spanish football.

Summary

[edit]

The season is best remembered thanks to the first ever European Cup won,[1] defeating Raymond Kopa[2] and Just Fontaine's Stade de Reims[3] in an exciting Final with a 4–3 score.

The team reached the semi-finals[4] of the Copa del Generalísimo (losing to Athletic Bilbao 3–4 on aggregate without Di Stéfano) and finished third in the league 10 points behind champions Bilbao with a record 81 goals scored.
