The1975–76 season wasReal Madrid Club de Fútbol's73rd season in existence and the club's44th consecutive season in the top flight of Spanish football.
The club clinched its17th league title, finishing five points above runners-upCF Barcelona. Despite Cruijff, Neeskens and Co. having a better offensive line, Real Madrid managed to counterweight that with a brilliant defensive line that ultimately won them the trophy. During the summer, a back up line reinforcementJuan Sol arrived fromValencia.[1] being crucial for the team during the campaign.[2]
In theEuropean Cup, the squad reached the semi-finals, losing the tie against back-to-back ChampionsBayern Munich.[3] The club was eliminated early in theCopa del Generalísimo round of 16 by underdogsCD Tenerife, despite playing the decisive match at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium.[4]
