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 BenÃtez 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.
