2012皇家马德里队

2011-12西甲赛季是皇家马德里的第80个赛季， registering in the top flight of Spanish football for the 80th consecutive season. This season was marked by a historic double, where the team won both the La Liga title and the Copa del Rey.

The season started with a convincing win over Granada on August 28, 2011, with a 5-0 scoreline. However, it was not all smooth sailing for the team as they struggled with injuries to key players. The absence of Cristiano Ronaldo due to injury was felt throughout the campaign.

The team''s form was patchy at best during the first half of the season, but a mid-season resurgence saw them climb up the table and eventually secure a top-four finish. This led to their qualification for the Champions League.

On the domestic front, the Copa del Rey proved to be a welcome distraction from La Liga''s intensity. A thrilling 3-2 win over Barcelona in the semifinals sent shockwaves through the football world, setting up a final showdown with Athletic Bilbao.

The championship game was played at the Camp Nou, and it was the home team who ultimately triumphed, winning 3-0. This marked the first time since 1959 that Barca had claimed the Copa del Rey title. The match will be remembered for Barcelona''s clinical display of football, as well as their opponents'' misfortunes.

Despite falling short in La Liga, the team still managed to finish with an impressive 78 points from 38 games, which was good enough for a second-place finish behind champions Atlético Madrid. In contrast, Athletic Bilbao secured sixth place overall, earning them a spot in next season''s European competition.

2012 marked another incredible year for Spanish football, and it would have been even better if the national team had gone on to win the Euro 2012 title. Nevertheless, their performances were nothing short of spectacular throughout the tournament.
