71 years since the European Cup debut

On September 8, 1955, Real Madrid played its first match in the European Cup. It was the inaugural edition of this tournament, and our team debuted with a victory against Servette in Geneva by 0-2. Miguel Muñoz became the first madridista scorer in the European Cup, while Rial sealed the score for the team coached by Villalonga.

That season also marked the beginning of Real Madrid’s legend in the competition, as they claimed the title after defeating Servette, Partizan, and Milan in the knockout rounds. In the final, the madridistas were the first to inscribe their name in the tournament’s honors list by defeating Stade de Reims in Paris.
