The 1995–96 season was the 65th season for Real Madrid CF in La Liga.

Summary

Real Madrid finished its most tumultuous and disastrous domestic season since

Deportivo La Coruña manager Arsenio Iglesias

took over on 24 January 1996.

With Iglesias at the helm, Real Madrid managed to salvage some respectability by reaching the quarter-finals of the Champions League, where they were eliminated by Juventus 2–1 on aggregate, and finishing sixth in the league. The latter technically allowed Madrid to enter the following season's Intertoto Cup (which was staged in the summer and served as a qualifier for the UEFA Cup), but they passed on the opportunity, meaning there would be no European football for Real next season for the first time since 1977.
