Record: 100 Points in a La Liga Season

Lore & Background

On the domestic front, Madrid delivered the Supercopa de España trophy, beating Barcelona 4–1 in the final to win their 13th title in the competition, and conquered a record-extending 36th La Liga championship with four games to spare. These two trophies also marked Carlo Ancelotti's 11th and 12th in charge of Real Madrid, overtaking Zinedine Zidane's tally to make the Italian the second most successful manager in the club's history. In the Champions League, Madrid beat Borussia Dortmund 2–0 in the final to a record-extending 15th European Cup, with Dani Carvajal, Toni Kroos, Luka Modrić and Nacho equalling Paco Gento’s record of six European Cup titles, as Ancelotti won his fifth trophy in the tournament, the most among the managers. Real also claimed their fifth ever European double (after 1956–57, 1957–58, 2016–17, and 2021–22). The team only suffered two defeats throughout the whole season, both of them against city rivals Atlético Madrid at the Cívitas Metropolitano.

In Their Own Story

The air inside Camp Nou hung heavy, a suffocating mix of Catalan desperation and Madridist resolve. The scoreboard blinked 2-1 in stoppage time following Mesut Özil’s decisive strike, which had just sealed the win. Cristiano Ronaldo erupted from the bench area, chest heaving, eyes locked on his teammates as the referee's whistle finally pierced the noise. A roar erupted from the traveling Madridistas, vibrating through the stadium concrete. On the touchline, José Mourinho did not smile immediately; he simply nodded, the weight of history settling onto his shoulders. They had done it. One hundred points. The impossible had become reality.
