Summary

edit

During summer, President Julio de Miguel[1] appointed Argentine ex-Forward Alfredo Di Stefano as its new manager.[2] Also from Argentina arrived Striker Rubén Óscar Valdez transferred out by Platense.[3] In a 4-team-title-race involving also FC Barcelona, Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid the squad won its fourth league championship ever after Real Madrid shattered its trophy chances on Round 26 with a lost match 0-2 in Vigo against Celta and, a photo-finished last round 30 thanks to the draw game between Atletico Madrid and FC Barcelona despite the squad lost (0–1) against Español at Sarriá with the tie-breaker criteria favouring Valencia.[4]

After the team clinched their first league trophy since 1947, the squad lost the 1971 Copa del Generalisimo Final by a 3–4 score against FC Barcelona.
