67 years since the fourth European Cup

On June 3, 1959, Real Madrid won their fourth consecutive European Cup by defeating Stade de Reims 2-0. Both teams revisited the competition's first final, but this time the stage was Stuttgart's Neckarstadion, and our team achieved a more decisive result. Real Madrid took the lead in the second minute with a goal by Mateos, and after halftime, Di Stéfano sealed the 2-0 victory.

On their way to the final, Real Madrid defeated Besiktas, Wiener SK, and Atlético de Madrid. The semifinal clash against the red-and-whites was the first European derby, and a tiebreaker match was needed to decide the finalist. This match was played in Zaragoza, where the madridistas won 2-1, with goals from Di Stéfano and Puskas. Years later, Real Madrid would once again win the European Cup on June 3. This was in 2017, when they claimed the Twelfth against Juventus.
