The1973–74 season wasReal Madrid Club de Fútbol's71st season in existence and the club's42nd consecutive season in the top flight of Spanish football.
During the summer, the Spanish Football Federation lifted the ban on the transfers of foreign players after eleven seasons.[1] As such, Madrid signed Argentine forwardOscar Más,[2] German midfielderGünter Netzer,[3] as well as bringing in Spanish teenage defenderJosé Antonio Camacho and youngsterVicente del Bosque. On 8 September 1973, the club announced plans to build a new stadium inFuencarral,[4] a project that was ultimately rejected by City Government.[5] Madrid finished in just eighth place in the league table, sixteen points behind championsCF Barcelona and their new arrival, Dutch playmakerJohan Cruijff, known internationally as Johan Cruyff.[6] Cruyff was instrumental in the 5–0 defeat ofLos Blancos at the Bernabéu in the league Clásico.[7] During the campaign,Miguel Muñoz (head coach since 1960) was fired on 14 January 1974 after a bad streak of results, being replaced byLuis Molowny.[8]
Meanwhile, in June the team won the1974 Copa del Generalísimo Final 4–0 against champions Barcelona.[9]
Shockingly, in theUEFA Cup the squad bowed out early at the hands ofIpswich Town after losing the first leg of the series 0–1 and a achieving only a miserable draw 1–1 in Madrid.[10]
