The1983–84 season wasReal Madrid Club de Fútbol's82nd season in existence and the club's53rd consecutive season in the top flight of Spanish football.
This season is best remembered for the debut of popular young playmakerEmilio Butragueño[1] and his "La Quinta del Buitre" (Chendo, Sanchis, Martín Vázquez, Pardeza and Michel)[2] a group of teenage players climbing from its reserve teamCastilla towards the first team starting a new club era. Owing to financial worries[3] Presidente Luis de Carlos with a narrow space for star players transfers in the club,[4] chose to support rejuvenate the squad for this campaign aimed by successful seasons of basque sidesReal Sociedad andAthletic Bilbao with low profile Spanish players being majority in their squads. However, for the second time the club offered a contract to Brazilian midfielderZico being surpassed in the race byUdinese Calcio which bought him fromFlamengo.[5]
Shockingly, the team was early eliminated in theUEFA Cup first round by Czech underdogs sideSparta Prague. Di Stefano managed the team to clinch the first spot of League table for several rounds until March when a 1–1 draw at Pamplona against Osasuna and lost a decisive match atSan Mamés againstAthletic Bilbao with a 0–1 score collapsed its chances to take the title in favor of basque side Athletic Bilbao despite the two teams finished on League table tied on points. Meanwhile, in1983–84 Copa del Rey the squad was defeated in semi-finals by, again, Athletic Bilbao after a penalty shoot-out series only three days after the basque team took the title away of Real Madrid on a tie-breaker for the second consecutive year.
During May, the squad was early eliminated byAtlético Madrid in the1984 Copa de la Liga first round. ForwardJuanito won thePichichi trophy with 17 goals scored in League, tied alongJorge da Silva.[6] After two years as head coach and no-titles clinched, Argentine head coachAlfredo Di Stéfano was sacked by PresidentLuis de Carlos towards the end of campaign.[7]
