Summary

The squad was reinforced with Arsuaga, Ferrús, Rodriguez Gallardo, Sureda and future club legend Luis Molowny whom transfer rights President Bernabeu bought 'in extremis' sending his club manager Jacinto Quincoces by airplane to Las Palmas just before the arrival of FC Barcelona manager Ricardo Cabot by boat travel.^[2]

The club clinched back-to-back cup champions winning its ninth 1947 Copa del Generalísimo Final against Español.^[4]
