Real Madrid has once again proven why they are football royalty by closing 2024 with an extraordinary haul of five major trophies, equaling their record-breaking year of 2017. From January to December, the Whites dominated on all fronts, securing silverware in LaLiga, the Champions League, the UEFA Super Cup, the Spanish Super Cup, and the Intercontinental Cup. Here's a look back at their monumental achievements this year.
Spanish Super Cup Triumph
The year began on a high note as Real Madrid clinched their 13th Spanish Super Cup on January 14 in Riyadh. A stunning 4-1 victory against arch-rivals Barcelona was highlighted by Vinícius Jr.’s hat-trick and a decisive strike by Rodrygo. Ancelotti’s men had earlier edged Atlético Madrid in an unforgettable 5-3 extra-time thriller in the semi-finals.
36th LaLiga Title Secured
In May, Real Madrid added yet another LaLiga trophy, their 36th, with four games to spare. Their stellar defensive record, highest clean sheets tally, and top-scoring attack solidified their dominance.
Champions League: La Decimoquinta
On June 1, Madrid lifted their 15th Champions League trophy after defeating Borussia Dortmund 2-0 in the final at Wembley. Goals by Carvajal and Vinícius Jr., along with heroic performances against Manchester City and Bayern Munich in earlier rounds, etched this triumph in history.
Sixth UEFA Super Cup
The UEFA Super Cup win in August against Atalanta marked Madrid's fourth trophy of the year. A commanding performance in Warsaw saw Valverde and Mbappé find the net, with Bellingham named MVP of the match.
Intercontinental Glory
Capping off 2024, Madrid lifted their ninth Intercontinental Cup on December 18 with a 3-0 victory over Pachuca in Qatar. Goals from Mbappé, Rodrygo, and Vinícius Jr. sealed the crown.
A Year to Remember
Real Madrid’s remarkable 2024 has added another chapter to their illustrious history. With five trophies, an unyielding squad, and key performances from stars like Vinícius Jr., Rodrygo, and Mbappé, the year will forever be cherished by Madridistas worldwide.
