Overview

Helmut Benthaus was player-manager for the seventh consecutive season. Towards the end of his playing career Benthaus stood on the side line as team manager and he only substituted himself into the game if it was not running as he wanted it. In this season Benthaus substituted himself in during just one single game. This being the second last home match of the season on 27 May against Luzern[1] Benthaus retired from playing in at the end of the season aged 36.

14 teams contested in the 1971–72 Nationalliga A and Basel won the championship four points ahead of Zürich and five ahead of the Grasshoppers. Basel remained undefeated in the league for 24 rounds. Of the 26 league games Basel won 18, drawing seven, losing just once, scoring 66 goals conceding 28.[2] Ottmar Hitzfeld was Basel's top league goal scorer with 16 league goals, Walter Balmer second with 14 league goals and Karl Odermatt third best with 9 goals. The average attendance at the league matches was 18'769 spectators, the highest number of spectators came to the stadium for the last game of the season against Zürich[3]

For Basel the Swiss Cup started in the round of 32 on 24 October 1971 with a 3–1 home win against Monthey. On 21 November in the round of 16 Basel played away from home against La Chaux-de-Fonds. The match resulted with a 3–0 success. The quarter-final was played on 12 March 1972 in Zürich against Grasshopper-Club. The tie ended with a 1–1 draw and this meant a replay three days later. Basel won the replay 3–2 and continued onto the semi-finals against BSC Young Boys. In the Wankdorf Stadium on 3 April Karl Odermatt and Walter Balmer each scored a goal to give Basel a 2–0 victory. The final was played on 22 May 1970 also in the Wankdorf Stadium but Basel were defeated 0–1 by Zürich through a goal by Jeandupeux in extra time.[4]

In the 1971–72 UEFA Cup Basel were drawn against Real Madrid. The first leg, which played on 15 September 1971 in the St. Jakob Stadium attracted 32'059 spectators but ended for Basel with a 1–2 defeat. Madrid won thanks to goals from Francisco Aguilar and Santillana, who turned the result around after the Swiss scored the opener through René Hasler.[5] The return leg on 29 September in Santiago Bernabéu Stadium was watched by 61'861 spectators and also ended with the same result. The same two players were the heroes once again, each scoring a goal, to ensure Real Madrid their passage to the next round.

In the 1971 Cup of the Alps Basel won the Swiss Group and qualified for the final. They were defeated however by Lazio 1–3.
