Summary

After winning the European Cup semifinals and Final last season, acting head coach "Miracle" Miguel Muñoz promoted as manager for this campaign. The team was defeated in the first round of 1960-61 European Cup against FC Barcelona now with Laszlo Kubala in the line-up [1] a surprisingly result.

Being early eliminated of European Cup tagged the Squad as heavily favourites for The doblete which was reachable. The club won its seventh League title ever (twelve points above the second spot Atletico Madrid and five matches before season finale)[2], although defeated in 1961 Copa del Generalísimo in Final against local rivals Atlético Madrid. Also, Puskas won the individual trophy of topscorer “Pichichi” with 28 goals[3]. At the start of campaign merengues the club clinched the first edition of Intercontinental Cup defeating Peñarol.[4]
