The 2005-06 campaign was a turbulent season of transition for Real Madrid, as Los Blancos ultimately finished 2nd in La Liga and suffered a trophyless year. This was the final, elegant season for icon Zinedine Zidane, whose midfield brilliance alongside David Beckham and the early contributions of a young Sergio Ramos anchored the side. While Brazilian striker Ronaldo led the league scoring charts for the team with 14 goals, the year was defined by the disappointment of a Champions League Round of 16 exit to Arsenal and instability off the pitch with mid-season managerial and presidential changes.
