Under Jorge Valdano, Real Madrid captured the La Liga title, finishing ahead of Barcelona and reclaiming domestic supremacy. The squad featured key players like Raúl, Fernando Hierro, Davor Šuker, Roberto Carlos, and Predrag Mijatović, blending emerging talent with experienced internationals. Madrid played attacking, fast-paced football, scoring freely and dominating many fixtures. In the Copa del Rey, they had a strong run but fell short in the latter stages. European competition was less successful, with an early exit in the UEFA Cup. This season marked the rise of Raúl as a club legend and the continuation of Madrid’s domestic dominance.
