Summary
The Spanish Federation lifted the ban on foreign player transfers [1] allowing Chairman Santiago Bernabéu to buy French playmaker Raymond Kopa from Stade de Reims [2] to boost the midfield as a winger,[3] in fact the trade was released days before the 1956 European Cup Final against the same French squad. Due to the rule of limited foreigners Kopa could not feature until October, when Di Stefano became a Spanish citizen. The team finished the League campaign 5 points above Sevilla and FC Barcelona, clinching its fifth League title ever. Also, Alfredo Di Stefano won the top scorer trophy with 31 goals.
Initially, due to the rule of not being a current league champion, the club would not compete in the continental tournament. However, chairman Santiago Bernabéu, also an organizer of the competition, allowed their entry as holders; the squad won its second consecutive European Cup in a close Final against Italian team Fiorentina.[4] During June, the club reached the quarterfinals of Copa del Generalísimo defeated 1-6 by FC Barcelona. It would be the only trophy not conquered by the squad in the campaign.[5] The team closed a superb season clinching its second Latin Cup winning the Final against Portuguese side Benfica.
