SUMMARY:
A season where Jose Mourinho’s Real Madrid slayed the ultimate beast in the form of Pep Guardiola’s Barcelona side. With the Catalans considered by many as one of the greatest football teams of all time it would require a near perfect season by Real Madrid to win La Liga. Los Blancos would register 100 points and score 121 goals in their 38 league games. A respectable Champions League campaign would see Real Madrid reach the semi-finals before losing to Bayern Munich on penalties, but the season will be remembered for how Real Madrid overcame Barcelona with a collection of attacking players rising to the occasion to perform at their ruthless best. The precision of Real Madrid’s counterattacking play that season was a blueprint for others to follow.
 
NOTABLE PLAYERS:
Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema, Gonzalo Higuain, Angel Di Maria, Sami Khedira, Xabi Alonso, Mesut Ozil, Sergio Ramos, Pepe, Marcelo, Raul Albiol, Jose Callejon, Kaka.
