It has been 69 years since the fifth League of Real Madrid. On April 14, 1957, our team mathematically secured the title after defeating Zaragoza at the Torrero stadium (1-2) in the penultimate matchday. The madridistas had to overturn the goal scored by Wilson that gave the Aragonese team the lead in the 9th minute. Mateos, in the 35th and 70th minutes, scored the double that ensured the title.
Real Madrid finished that 1956/57 League with a five-point lead over Sevilla and Barcelona, second and third in the standings. Individually, Alfredo Di Stéfano was the top scorer of the competition (31 goals). That squad was coached by José Villalonga and achieved three titles that season by also winning the second European Cup and the Latin Cup.
