Summary
editThe season is best remembered as the worst league performance by the club in its history[1] finishing on 11th spot avoiding relegation on the last round of the season[2] in spite of a great campaign of midfielder Luis Molowny scoring nine goals.[3]
After three years of construction "Nuevo Chamartín" (New Chamartín Stadium) was inaugurated on 14 December 1947 with a match between Real Madrid and the Portuguese side Os Belenenses.[4] The stadium had an initial capacity of 75,145 spectators.[5]
Meanwhile, the club fired two managers until Michael Keeping was signed for the second part of the season improving the path for the squad included a controversial 1–1 against top-league team Atlético Madrid.[6] The squad could reach a victory on 11 April 1948 against Real Oviedo 2–0 with a superb performance of Pruden saving Real Madrid from a relegation.[7]
The campaign was the first with numbered shirts (measure pioneered in Europe by Arsenal F.C. since 1928[8]) being the first match against local rivals Atlético Madrid with a 0–5 result.[9]
After saving the category, the team was eliminated in the round of 16 of the Copa del Generalísimo by Espanyol, losing the two matches of the series.
