The 1958–59 season was Real Madrid Club de Fútbol's 56th season in existence and the club's 28th consecutive season in the top flight of Spanish football.

Summary

[edit]

During the summer Hungarian player Ferenc Puskás arrived to the club[1] after a two-year FIFA ban on him due to his defection from communist Hungary.[2] The move was controversial due to the player's age (31 years old) and him allegedly being overweight, the reasons why he had been already turned down by Juventus, Milan,[3] and Manchester United.

However, Puskas and Di Stefano completed a lethal duo with an astonishing campaign collecting the club's fourth consecutive European Cup, defeating Just Fontaine's Stade de Reims. However, Puskas missed the final match due to a technical decision by head coach Luis Carniglia, who was fired after that by club chairman Santiago Bernabéu.[4] Additionally, Di Stefano clinched another top scorer individual trophy in the Spanish league with 23 goals. Puskas was second with 21 goals.

The squad finished in a decent second spot in the league standings, four points behind champions Barcelona, despite scoring a club record 89 goals (to Barcelona's 96). In June, Real Madrid reached the semi-finals of Copa del Generalísimo, where they were defeated by Barcelona.[5]
