2007 Real Madrid Training – Large

The 2006–07 season was one of the most dramatic and emotionally charged in recent Real Madrid history. After a turbulent start and midseason managerial friction, Fabio Capello guided the club to an improbable La Liga title, their first since 2003. Despite being criticized for his pragmatic style and falling short in Europe and the Copa del Rey, Capello’s team showed incredible resilience — most famously through a series of comebacks in the final months of the campaign. Ironically, Capello was dismissed just days after lifting the league trophy.
