2021-2030

2021-2030 Real Madrid wrote a new chapter in football history by securing their 15th European Cup in 2024. The Whites reaffirmed their supremacy in this competition against Borussia Dortmund in London. Before that, in 2022, the team had already celebrated another historic milestone with La Decimocuarta, which they won in Paris against Liverpool. The first years of this decade have also yielded the 35th and 36th league titles, the fifth Uefa Super Cup, the eighth Club World Cup, the 20th Copa del Rey and two more Spanish Super Cups. Under Ancelotti's guidance, Real Madrid secured a 14th European Cup. In his second spell at the club, the Italian coach lifted the continental trophy again in 2022, after beating Liverpool in Paris courtesy of a goal from Vini Jr. It was the crowning glory of a spectacular 2021/22 season in which two more titles were won. First, the club's 12th Spanish Super Cup, beating Athletic in the final (0-2). And then, the 35th league title. With four games still to play, the team lifted the trophy in front of their fans after thumping Espanyol 4-0. Success followed at the start of the 2022/23 campaign with a Uefa Super Cup win over Eintracht Frankfurt (2-0). In February 2023, the Whites clinched their eighth Club World Cup with a 5-3 win over Al Hilal in the final in Rabat. And in May, Ancelotti's charges sealed their third trophy of the season by beating Osasuna in the final of the Copa del Rey courtesy of a Rodrygo brace. Champions League, LaLiga and Spanish Super Cup triumphs La Decimoquinta was the crowning glory of an excellent 2023/24 season. The madridistas beat Borussia Dortmund in the final at Wembley, ending the competition undefeated. Prior to that, Ancelotti's side clinched LaLiga number 36 and overcame Barcelona in the final for their 13th Spanish Super Cup. 

2011-2020 

Real Madrid have once again defined an era in world football, winning four European Cups and four Club World Cup. In 2014, they lifted La Décima, before winning the Club World Cup that same year. Zidane's first two seasons in the dugout were historic, clinching La Undécima and La Duodécima. What's more, 2017 became a record-breaking year when the team got their hands on five trophies: The European Cup, the Club World Cup, LaLiga and the European and Spanish Super Cups. La Decimotercera then came in 2018, when they came out on top against Liverpool in Kiev. In the first few years of this new decade three trophies were added to the cabinet by José Mourinho's Real Madrid. The most notable was the 2011-12 Liga title, which they won with a record-breaking 100 points, the highest score achieved in the history of the championship at that stage, and 121 goals. They also beat Barcelona to clinch a Copa del Rey and a Supercopa de España. In June 2013, Carlo Ancelotti arrived at Real Madrid. The Italian won four trophies with the Whites, the first coming in the shape of Real Madrid's nineteenth Copa del Rey, after beating Barcelona 1-2 in the final. On 24 May 2014, Madrid lifted the European Cup once again, claiming La Décima with a 4-1 victory over Atlético in Lisbon. Goals from Ramos, Bale, Marcelo and Cristiano secured the triumph. Two further triumphs arrived in the second season under Ancelotti: The European Super Cup, against Sevilla and Real Madrid’s first World Club Cup, against San Lorenzo. This meant Real Madrid capped of a historic year in their history in 2014, making it the year in which most trophies were won by the club. In June 2015, Rafa Benítez returned to the club where he cut his teeth, to take charge of the Whites. Then, in January 2016, Zidane made the step up to first team coach, following his legendary career as a player. His first season ended with the team lifting the La Undécima trophy, against Atlético in Milán. The French tactician's second season in charge delivered a clutch of silverware. Real Madrid secured the Duodécima, becoming the first-ever team to successfully defend their continental crown in the Champions League era. Alongside this success in Europe's elite club competition, the team also captured the 2016/17 LaLiga crown, the club's third UEFA Super Cup and a second Club World Cup, after overcoming Manchester United, as well as a 10th Spanish Super Cup. In December 2017, the Whites clinched another Club World Cup crown and this fifth piece of silverware saw the team set a new record for the number of titles claimed in a calendar year. The year 2018 is also part of the madridista legacy thanks to the club's Decimotercera, secured against Liverpool following victory in the showpiece in Kiev, whilst that year also yielded the club's seventh world club crown, won in the United Arab Emirates against Al Ain. Meanwhile, 2020 got up and running with an 11th Spanish Super Cup, which came on the back of victory over Atlético Madrid in Jeddah (Saudi Arabia). In July, Zinedine Zidane's men captured the club's 34th league crown 

2001-2010

 In this decade Real Madrid made a proud return to triumph on the continent, winning its Ninth European Cup and its third Intercontinental Cup as well as five Ligas, among other titles. Also, Florentino Pérez reorganised the club's economy to make it the richest on the planet. Vicente del Bosque stayed on as manager until 2003. His philosophy and brand of football made Madrid into a team of champions. During his time at the helm, the Whites celebrated another European Cup victory, another Intercontinental Cup, two domestic championships, a Supercup of Spain and a UEFA Super Cup. It was an era that is only comparable with the Real Madrid of the 50s and 60s. Florentino Pérez's management led to profound changes in the club's structure. He reorganised the institution's economy, making it the richest club in the world, and made far-reaching changes at the top of the organisation. He completely renovated the Santiago Bernabéu, created a new sports complex in Valdebebas and opened the Alfredo Di Stéfano stadium. Meanwhile, on the pitch, he made the fans' dreams come true by bringing in Zidane, Ronaldo and Beckham. In his second spell (2006), the president continued to delight the supporters, signing the best players and managers in the world. Great players such as Cristiano Ronaldo and Benzemá among others, were brought in, along with manager José Mourinho. The Portuguese arrived in the Santiago Bernabéu a week after being crowned champions of Europe with Inter Milan in the same stadium.

1991-2000 

Jorge Valdano, Fabio Capello and Vicente del Bosque were the names to remember this decade. The three successful coaches took Real Madrid to the top in La Liga and in Europe and they were helped on their way by some superstars. Players such as Redondo, Laudrup, Seedorf, Suker, Mijatovic and Roberto Carlos all arrived at the club in the 90s. Having demonstrated his abilities at the helm of Tenerife, where his team played an attractive and efficient brand of football, Valdano returned to Real Madrid in 1994. With new signings Redondo, Laudrup, Amavisca and Cañizares, the Madrid side went on to win the league title. That same season, youth-academy player Raúl made his debut. On the 29th of October at 17 years of age, the young player from Madrid filled in for Martín Vázquez in La Romareda, where he would put in a stunning performance. A new legend was born. Early in 1995, Valdano's Real Madrid beat Johan Cruyff's Barça 5-0 in the Santiago Bernabéu. It was a magical game that was televised and followed by more than 10 million viewers. But the bad results in the 95-96 season forced Lorenzo Sanz to bring in Fabio Capello, one of the most sought-after coaches in European football. The Italian had a dream squad. The signings of Seedorf, Suker, Mijatovic and Roberto Carlos, together with Raúl, Hierro and Redondo, took Madrid to a new league title. The 20th of May 1998 was a historic day for the club. After 32 years, and under the orders of Jupp Heynckes, Real Madrid conquered Europe once more by beating Juventus in the final of the Champions League. A goal from Pedja Mijatovic in the 66th minute brought number Seven from the Amsterdam Arena to the Santiago Bernabéu trophy room. In December that year, this time at the hands of Guus Hiddink, Madrid won its second Intercontinental Cup. In 1999, and after a lifetime connected to the club as a player, Vicente del Bosque returned as the first-team manager. The man from Salamanca managed to instil a philosophy in the team that made them the best in the continent. His first title came in 2000: the Eighth European Cup. In the same year, Florentino Pérez (enlazar ficha) took over the presidency and signed one of the best players on the planet, Luis Figo
