Histoire de Real Madrid 1961-1970

In the 1961-62 season, Real Madrid again enjoyed an excellent campaign as they claimed a league and cup double, and were runners-up in the European Cup. On 18 March 1962, Madrid sealed another title win at their stadium, with two matches to spare. On 8 July 1962, the Whites beat Sevilla 2-1 in the cup final.

They were the kings of Spain and of Europe. On the 11th of May 1966, Real Madrid were crowned champions of Europe once again, against Partizán (2-1). Without Di Stéfano and Puskas, the most experienced player was Gento. The rest of the team was made up by Araquistáin, Pachín, Pedro de Felipe, Sanchís, Pirri, Zoco, Serena, Amancio, Grosso and Velázquez. After winning their Sixth European Cup, four of the players were photographed impersonating the Beatles. They then became known as the ‘ye-yé’ Madrid because of the chorus of the English group's song ‘She Loves You’.
