The 2011–12 season is the 108th season in Real Madrid Club de Fútbol's history and their 81st consecutive season in La Liga, the top division of Spanish football. It covers a period from 1 July 2011 to 30 June 2012.

Real Madrid will begin the season with an El Clásico against FC Barcelona in the Supercopa de España. The team will compete for a record 32nd La Liga title following three seasons as runners-up and will participate in the UEFA Champions League for the 17th successive season, aiming for an unprecedented tenth triumph. They will also enter the Copa del Rey as the defending champions.

Cristiano Ronaldo will be defending his Pichichi Trophy as La Liga top scorer following a record 41 goals last season.[1]

Season overview

Pre-season

Nuri Şahin signed for Real Madrid from Borussia Dortmund for a reported fee of €10 million.

Real Madrid commenced their summer transfer activity on May 9, signing Turkish central midfielder Nuri Şahin for six seasons from Borussia Dortmund on a transfer reported to be worth €10 million.[2] Versatile Turkish midfielder Hamit Altıntop was signed for four seasons on a free transfer from Bayern Munich on May 19,[3] but was discovered to have a prolapsed disc on June 23,[4] undergoing a successful operation four days later.[5] The club announced on May 21 that veteran Polish goalkeeper Jerzy Dudek's contract would not be renewed, allowing him to leave on a free transfer.[6] Former Castilla winger José Callejón was brought back after three seasons at Espanyol for a reported fee of €5 million on May 23.[7]

Real Madrid fired Director General Jorge Valdano on May 25 after a strained relationship over sporting decisions between him and manager José Mourinho.[8] President Florentino Pérez supported Mourinho's request to "be able to manage the team with autonomy"[9] in response to tensions during the previous season's winter transfer window and a public feud regarding Karim Benzema following a 1–1 draw against Almería.[10] The office of the Director General was eliminated[9] and Valdano was reported to be paid €3.5 million to release him from the remaining two years on his contract.[10]

Real Madrid continued their transfer activity on June 27, signing teenage French central defender Raphaël Varane from Lens for six seasons on a reported €10 million transfer.[11] On July 1, Royston Drenthe and David Mateos returned from their loan spells at Hércules[12] and AEK Athens,[13] respectively, while Emmanuel Adebayor returned to Manchester City following a six-month loan.[14] Mateos was loaned out ten days later to Real Zaragoza with Zaragoza having an option to purchase the player permanently at the end of the season.[15] Portuguese wingback Fábio Coentrão transferred from Benfica for €30 million[16] on July 5 and signed a six-year contract.[17] On July 7, former player Zinedine Zidane announced his new role as the director of football for the first team, replacing his previous position as a special adviser to Florentino Pérez.[18]

Real Madrid traveled to the UCLA campus in Los Angeles, California on July 11 to prepare for friendlies against Los Angeles Galaxy, Guadalajara, and Philadelphia Union in the World Football Challenge.[19] Castilla players Jesús Fernández, Tomás Mejías, Jorge Casado, Nacho Fernández, Jesé Rodríguez, and Joselu accompanied the first team to the United States.[20] On July 12, the contracts of Pepe and Sergio Ramos were extended to 2016 and 2017, respectively,[21] and Nuri Şahin suffered a Grade I sprain on the internal lateral ligament in his left knee during the first day of training,[22] causing him to miss the three friendlies in the United States.[23] On July 17, defender Ezequiel Garay transferred to Benfica for an undisclosed fee.[24] Real Madrid's pre-season began with a 4–1 victory over MLS team Los Angeles Galaxy, with goals from Callejón, Joselu, Ronaldo, and Benzema.[25]
