The 1998–99 season was Real Madrid's 68th season in La Liga.

Summary

Real Madrid sacked Jupp Heynckes shortly after winning UEFA Champions League in May and thus hiring former Valencia coach Guus Hiddink. Having come fourth in the league and winning the UEFA Champions League last season, Real Madrid was thought as favourite for 1998-99 season. There were also new arrivals such as Edgar Pacheco, Robert Jarni and Perica Ognjenović. Despite these introductions, manager Hiddink was sacked in February due to criticizing several players. Real Madrid also suffered embarrassing Copa del Rey semifinal exit after 7-1 aggregate loss against eventual cup winners Valencia as well as UEFA Champions League quarter-final exit against Ukrainian powerhouse Dynamo Kyiv and thus endured trophyless season since 1995-96 campaign.
