64 years ago, Real Madrid claimed their eighth League title in football history. In the third-to-last matchday, our team mathematically won the championship by defeating Mallorca 2-0 at home thanks to goals from Di Stéfano and Del Sol. Real Madrid thus retained the title won in the previous edition.
The team, led by Miguel Muñoz, finished that 1961/62 League with a three-point advantage over Barcelona, was the team with the fewest goals conceded in the competition (24 goals), and goalkeeper Araquistain won the Zamora Trophy. The top scorer of that squad was Puskas, with 20 goals. This League was the second of the eight won by Real Madrid in the 1960s.
