1977–78 Real Madrid CF season

The club did not compete in European tournaments for the first time since the 1955-56 season. During summer, the team was reinforced with the arrivals of: Argentine defender Enrique Wolff,[1] German midfielder Uli Stielike[2] and high-expected Forward Juanito[3] from Burgos CF.[4]

President Santiago Bernabeu suffered a bowel obstruction on 29 August 1977 and was transferred into hospital for emergency treatment being diagnosed with cancer days later.[5] After three seasons, Miljan Miljanic left the club on 8 September 1977 signing an agreement with Santiago Bernabeu at the hospital in a bizarre event.[6] Then, Luis Molowny was appointed by Raimundo Saporta as new head coach. Also, Saporta was appointed as Acting President on 3 September 1977 due to Bernabeu health issues.[7]

In spite of the turmoil, the club clinched its 18th League title ever closing the season on 7 May 1978 six points above runners-up FC Barcelona. Chairman Santiago Bernabeu died on 2 June 1978 finishing the most successful era in the club, clinching 6 European Cups and 15 League titles under his Presidency.
