The 1973–74 season is Real Madrid Club de Fútbol's 71st season in existence and the club's 42nd consecutive season in the top flight of Spanish football.

Summary

During summer, Spanish Football Federation lifted the ban on foreign players transfers after 11 campaigns,^[1] so, the club was able to buy Argentine forward Oscar Más,^[2] German midfielder Günter Netzer,^[3] teenage defender José Antonio Camacho and youngstar Vicente del Bosque. The club finished in a mere eight place in League Table sixteen points behind Champion CF Barcelona and his new arrival Dutch playmaker Johan Cruijff.^[4] During the campaign Miguel Muñoz head coach since 1960 was fired on 14 January 1974 after a bad streak of results, being replaced by Luis Molowny.^[5]

Meanwhile, now in June the team won the 1974 Copa del Generalisimo Final 4–0 against League Champion CF Barcelona^[6] without Johan Cruijff on the field.^[7]

Shockingly, in UEFA Cup the squad was early eliminated by Ipswich Town after lost the first leg of the series 0-1 and a miserable draw 1–1 in Madrid.^[8]
