Summary[]

During the summer, the Spanish Football Federation lifted the ban on foreign player transfers after eleven seasons,^[1] so, the club was able to buy Argentine forward Oscar Más,^[2] German midfielder Günter Netzer,^[3] teenage defender José Antonio Camacho and youngster Vicente del Bosque. The club finished in eighth place in the league.^[4] On 8 September 1973 the club announced plans to build a new stadium in Fuencarral,^[5] a project that was finally rejected by City Government.^[6] During the season Miguel Muñoz was fired on 14 January 1974 after a bad streak of results, being replaced by Luis Molowny.^[7]

In June the team won the 1974 Copa del Generalísimo Final 4–0 against CF Barcelona.^[8]
