In 1971 Copa del Generalísimo the squad as Defending Champion was early eliminated in Round of 32 by Deportivo La Coruña on away goals.[2]

The team played the 7th final in Europe, a record at the time,[3] first a draw 1-1 after extra time,[4] and then, lost the 1971 European Cup Winners' Cup Final trophy against Chelsea FC 1–2 in the replay in Piraeus [5] closing the first trophy-less season since the 1952-53 campaign. After 18 years as club player, clinching 12 league titles, 2 Copa del Generalísimo and 6 European Cups Francisco Gento is retired at the end of this season.[6]
