With superb performances of forward Manuel Alday,[1] the club finished the league season as runners-up, seven points below champions Valencia CF.[2][3] Surprisingly, the squad lost at home against Celta, which shattered its options of clinching the league title.[4] In the Copa del Generalísimo, Madrid reached the quarter-finals, where they lost to Club Atlético de Bilbao in a playoff match after a 3–3 aggregate tie.
