With Real Madrid monopolising the list of winners in the early editions of the European Cup, Pedro Casado managed to carve a niche from the youth academy into a team full of champions. Coming from the under-19s, the defender made his debut in the 1956-57 league season at only 18 years old, and he did it in the same team as Marquitos, Di Stéfano, Gento...
 
After continuing his growth as a footballer in the Plus Ultra, Casado secured a definitive position in the first team in the 1960/61 season. His good performances that campaign in the team led by Miguel Muñoz saw him make his debut with the Spanish national team.
 
His only goal as a Real Madrid player came in the European Cup, in the first leg of the 1962 semi-final against Standard Liege. In that same year he started in the final against Benfica, won by the Portuguese team. However, he would end up winning the European Cup. In his last season at the club, the Real Madrid yeyé team won it for the sixth time in Brussels.
