Season summary

The summer of 2006 saw Real choose a new and returning coach, Fabio Capello coming from Juventus in the wake of Calciopoli.

Capello brought several recent and previous Juventus players with him to the club, but not all of them made a huge impact, the team instead relying on the goals of Ruud van Nistelrooy for the whole season.

Real returned to domestic league glory after a 3–1 victory against Mallorca in the last game of the season, but the club surprisingly sacked Capello shortly after winning the La Liga title after Capello refused to field David Beckham and Ronaldo as well as his defensive tactics. He was replaced by a surprise candidate Bernd Schuster from Getafe for the following season.

On the other hand, Real Madrid suffered painful exits in the Round of 16 of the Copa del Rey against Real Betis as well as in the UEFA Champions League against Bayern Munich in the Round of 16.
