Under what name did Real Madrid win the 1931-32 La Liga title?

The story behind the answer

Real Madrid won the 1931–32 La Liga title under the name Madrid FC.

The change followed the establishment of the Spanish Second Republic in April 1931. The club lost the royal honorific “Real,” meaning “Royal,” and removed the crown from its crest. For the 1931–32 campaign, the team was therefore officially presented as Madrid Football Club, commonly shortened to Madrid FC.

Madrid FC won its first Primera División championship that season and did so unbeaten. The league began on 22 November 1931 and ended on 3 April 1932. Madrid finished ahead of defending champions Athletic Bilbao and also recorded the competition's longest unbeaten run, at 18 matches.

The club later regained the “Real” title after the political situation changed, becoming the Real Madrid Club de Fútbol familiar today. “Madrid United” was never the club's historical name, while Atlético Madrid was a separate rival rather than an alternative identity.
