Summary

The club won the second league championship in a row despite changes on the bench: a young Villalonga who was appointed manager of Real Madrid during the middle of the season replacing Enrique Fernandez Viola. Meanwhile, it was a great campaign for Francisco Gento[1] and the club acquired Argentine Héctor Rial from the Nacional Montevideo,[2] an arrival to boost the offensive line. Argentine forward Alfredo Di Stéfano scored 25 goals replaying another superb season. After won its fourth League ever (second in a row), the team won Latin Cup during June.[3] Also, winning the local title gave Real Madrid the right to play the inaugural 1955-1956 European Cup season.[4]
