2011-2020
The
decade began with another trophy, which was won by beating the eternal rival in
the Copa del Rey, who many had labelled as being the best in history. Mestalla
was the place where, in extra time, the Whites secured their eighteenth Copa
trophy, exactly 18 years later. During the 2011-12 season, the football team,
which has marked the best Group Phase in the entire history of the European
Cup, has shot up to the highest place in la Liga, winning its thirty-second
championship with two days playing to go. Whilst the Basketball team performed
just as it did last season, Mourinho's team won the Copa at Palau Sant Jordi de
Barcelona 19 years later.
Eighteenth
Copa del Rey of football
Real
Madrid got its eighteenth Copa del Rey trophy after defeating Barcelona in
Mestalla's packed stadium (1-0). Cristiano Ronaldo, after solid support from Di
Maria, headed in the winning goal during the first part of extra time. Capitain
Iker Casillas, excited about winning his first Copa, was in charge of taking
the trophy from the hands of the King. After the game, the team flew to Spain's
capital and, together with thousands of fans who had taken to the streets of
Madrid with La Cibeles being the main meeting point, celebrated until the early
hours of the morning, a trophy which they hadn't had for 18 years.
7th
December 2011
After
defeating Ajax in the Amsterdam Arena, Real Madrid marked the best Group Phase
in the history of the European Cup. The Whites were victorious in the six games
played, for the first time in their history of participating in the highest
European competition and moreover, they achieved this with a difference in
goals of +17 (19 goals scored and two let in). These 19 goals meant that the
team coached by José Mourinho beat the best scoring record of any club (17 in
1998/99) in a European league group and the two goals let in was the same as
the least number ever conceded by the team, i.e. in 2010/11.
Rey de Copas – Basketball
The
Real Madrid basketball team won their twenty-third Copa del Rey and became the
team which has won this tournament the most times. Moreover, they achieved this
by defeating their eternal rival in the Palau Sant Jordi after previously
eliminating Fuenlabrada and Banca Cívica in the same place. The final was dominated
by Real Madrid, in which Llull and Carroll (23 and 22 points, respectively),
backed up by a great game by the team, secured this trophy for the Whites 19
years later (74-91). Felipe Reyes was in charge of proudly lifting up the Copa
in Barcelona.

The
Whites were proclaimed champions of the League for the 32nd time in their
history, after defeating Athletic de Bilbao with two days of the championship
to go, which showed their superiority during the championship. Real Madrid
finished with the trophy of a League which is what dreams are made of, beating
the record number of goals and remaining in the finals of this sport in Spain.
