The 1977–78 season is Real Madrid Club de Fútbol's 75th season in existence and the club's 46th consecutive season in the top flight of Spanish football.

Summary

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.
