2014 Real Madrid Home – Cristiano Ronaldo #7 XL

The 2013/14 season was one of the most historic in Real Madrid’s illustrious history, defined by the long-awaited capture of La Décima — the club’s 10th European Cup.

• La Liga: Real Madrid finished 3rd with 87 points, behind Atlético Madrid and Barcelona. Inconsistency in the league, particularly in the spring, cost them a chance at the title.

• Copa del Rey: Madrid won the Copa del Rey, defeating Barcelona 2–1 in the final. Gareth Bale scored his legendary solo goal, sprinting from his own half to seal victory.

• UEFA Champions League: The pinnacle of the season was the Champions League triumph. Real Madrid defeated Schalke, Borussia Dortmund, and Bayern Munich en route to the final. In Lisbon, they faced Atlético Madrid and famously won 4–1 after extra time, with Sergio Ramos equalizing in the 93rd minute. Cristiano Ronaldo sealed the victory with the fourth goal, securing La Décima.

• Manager: This was Carlo Ancelotti’s first season in charge. His calm leadership balanced star egos and tactical flexibility, guiding Madrid to their long-awaited European crown.

• Kit: The 2013/14 home kit was a classic white Adidas design with subtle grey stripes and orange trim, one of the most memorable shirts of the modern era thanks to its association with La Décima.
