1939–40 Madrid FC season

After three suspended League seasons due to Spanish Civil War,[1] the Board appointed Paco Bru from Girona FC as head coach[2] In League the club finished on 4th spot below Champions Athletic Aviación.[3] Striker Sabino Barinaga [4] could play just two matches due to an injury. Offensively the team played in a superb way during the season with Manuel Alday scoring 17 league goals,[5] however, the defensive line was one of the worst of the championship sinking the chances for a title.

Meanwhile, in Copa del Generalisimo the squad could reach the Final stage and was defeated by Español after extra time.[6]
