1954–55 Real Madrid CF season

The 1954–55 season was Real Madrid Club de Fútbol's 52nd season in existence and the club's 24th consecutive season in the top flight of Spanish football.

Summary

The club won the second league championship in a row despite changes on the bench: a young Villalonga who was appointed manager of Real Madrid in the middle of the season replacing Enrique Fernandez Viola. Meanwhile, it was a great campaign for Francisco Gento and the club acquired Argentine Héctor Rial from the Nacional Montevideo, an arrival to boost the offensive line. Argentine forward Alfredo Di Stéfano scored 25 goals playing another superb season. After its fourth ever league win (second in a row), the team proceeded to clinch the Latin Cup in June. However, in the Copa del Generalísimo, without Di Stéfano (who still had not obtained his Spanish citizenship), Madrid were knocked out in the semi-finals by Sevilla. Also, winning the domestic title gave Real Madrid the right to participate in the inaugural 1955–56 European Cup season.
