Summary

Real Madrid returned to domestic league glory under Vicente del Bosque managerial after a 3-1 victory against Athletic Bilbao in the season finale. But Real Madrid surprisingly sacked Vicente del Bosque shortly after winning La Liga title after del Bosque was not offered his new contract and being replaced by surprise choice Carlos Queiroz. Real Madrid were also on course to retain UEFA Champions League La Decima title before being eliminated by eventual Italian league champions Juventus. In the domestic cup, Real Madrid were also eliminated by eventual Copa del Rey champions RCD Mallorca with a 1-5 aggregate loss.
