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

During summer hungarian Ferenc Puskas arrived to the club^[1] after a 2 years FIFA ban on the player^[2], the move was controversial due to player's age (31 years old) and overweight reasons to be rejected by Juventus, Milan^[3] and Manchester United.

However, Puskas and Di Stefano completed a lethal duo with an astonishing campaign collecting for the club the fourth consecutive European Cup defeating Just Fontaine's Stade de Reims. Although Puskas missed the Final match due to a technical decision by head coach Luis Carniglia who was fired after that by Chairman Santiago Bernabeu.^[4] . Also, Di Stefano clinched another topscorer individual trophy with 23 goals, being his team mate Puskas the second place with 21 goals.

The squad finished in a decent second spot in League table 4 points behind champion FC Barcelona a record 89 goals scored. In June, the club reached the Semifinals of Copa del Generalísimo defeated by FC Barcelona. ^[5]
