Real Madrid concluded the 2025/2026 season without a single trophy. The Merengues recently suffered a 0-2 defeat to Barcelona in Matchday 35 of La Liga, a result that crowned the Catalans as champions of Spain. Barcelona secured a decisive victory with goals from Rashford (9′) and Ferran Torres (18′).
Barcelona now top the La Liga table with 91 points, while Real Madrid sit second with 77 points. In the Copa del Rey, Real Madrid were eliminated at the Round of 16 stage after a 2-3 loss to Albacete. The Spanish Super Cup saw them fall again to Barcelona, this time 2-3 in the final. In the UEFA Champions League, the Spanish giants reached the quarter-finals but were eliminated by Bayern Munich, losing 1-2 and 3-4 on aggregate.
Remarkably, this marks the first time in recent history that Real Madrid have ended a campaign empty-handed across all major competitions. The team’s inability to secure silverware will likely spark further scrutiny over squad depth and tactical decisions. Barcelona, meanwhile, have dominated the domestic scene, maintaining an unbeaten home record against Real Madrid since October 2023.
