There are seasons that are not only etched in the history of a club, but are also elegantly dressed through its kits. Real Madrid Club de FĆŗtbol's 2011-2012 season is a magnificent example of this, marked by the club's 110th Anniversary and the ambitious quest for the League and the Tenth European Cup. In this trip down memory lane, we unearth the details and passion behind Real Madrid's iconic home shirt during that period.
šāØ History Embroidered on Fabric: More than just a uniform, the shirt was a visual masterpiece. Designed with a buttonless polo collar, elegance was evident from the first glance. Gold details on the shoulders and the classic adidas logo, along with gold touches on the collar, armpits and sleeves, gave life to a garment that not only represented the club, but also embodied sophistication in every fiber. Historic sponsor Bwin added a touch of nostalgia and modernity.
š š Achievements and Anniversary: āāReal Madrid celebrated 110 years of history and 81 seasons in the First Division. With the conquest of the League and the Tenth European Cup as objectives, the team embarked on a journey that would translate into historic achievements.
In La Liga, the title was secured with a win over Athletic Club at San MamƩs, marking the 32nd league title in the club's history. In the UEFA Champions League, although they fell in the semi-finals to Bayern Munich, the team showed their strength. The Copa del Rey presented a challenge, losing 4-3 in the quarter-finals to Barcelona.
šā½Iconic Moments: Two moments stand out in this season of vibrant emotions.
Vicente CalderĆ³n thrashing 1ļøā£-4ļøā£: Cristiano Ronaldo shined with a hat-trick, securing Real Madrid's victory and extending their unbeaten streak against AtlĆ©tico de Madrid to 13 years.
Cristiano Ronaldo left the Camp Nou in silence š¤š: It's been 10 years since Cristiano Ronaldo's legendary celebration wearing the number 7 shirt for Real Madrid. It was after scoring the winning goal in the 2-1 win over Barcelona at the Camp Nou stadium, leaving the fans in attendance silent. With a combination of speed and skill, he overcame rivals and VĆctor ValdĆ©s to seal the victory for Merengue. Time does not pass in vain, but the memories of that feat endure.
š¢š The bitterest face of the season: JosĆ© Mourinho, known for his tactical astuteness and his fervent desire to win, led Real Madrid during the 2011-2012 season with a clear objective: to win La Liga and the coveted Tenth European Cup. In his own words, "we were the best team in Europe." However, the elimination in the Champions League semi-finals against Bayern Munich left a bitter aftertaste in the successful campaign.
Mourinho regrets the strategic choice of reliable penalty takers such as Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaka, who, according to him, "missed like never before" in the penalty shoot-out. Despite his Champions League record, this defeat with Real Madrid remains the most painful moment in the Portuguese coach's illustrious career.
