The 1978–79 season is Real Madrid Club de Fútbol's 77th season in existence and the club's 48th consecutive season in the top flight of Spanish football.

Summary[]

Nineteen days after the death of Santiago Bernabéu, Luis De Carlos was appointed as new President of the club on 21 June 1978.[1] The new Chairman released a new board of directors on 1 September 1978 in an attempt to normalize the club after the turmoil of last year.[2] Owing to financial issues including a growing debt, De Carlos did not reinforced the squad with high-profile players, instead of that, there had a few low-cost arrivals such as: Rafael García Cortés and Francisco García Hernández along Maté and Hipólito Rincón in a sign of austerity for upcoming years, in an era known as "The Madrid of Los Garcia" until 1982.[3]

In European Cup the team, shockingly, was early eliminated in Round 2 by underdogs Swiss side Grasshopper Club Zürich thanks to away goals.[4] Meanwhile, in 1978–79 Copa del Rey the squad advanced to the 1979 Copa del Rey Final and was defeated by Valencia CF 2–0 at Vicente Calderón Stadium.

The club clinched its 19th League title the second consecutive in a row with four points above runners-up Sporting Gijón.
