The 1996-97 campaign delivered a triumphant return to glory for Real Madrid, as Los Blancos won their 27th La Liga title in the single, demanding season under Fabio Capello, setting a record of 92 points. The attack was sensational, led by new signing Davor Šuker, whose 24 league goals topped the team's scoring, and the emerging Spanish legend Raúl, who netted 21. This defining year, which also saw the arrival of icons like Roberto Carlos and Clarence Seedorf, dramatically re-established the club's domestic dominance and secured a coveted return to the Champions League.
