The 2011-12 campaign was a season of admirable resurgence for Real Mallorca as Los Bermellones, led by manager Joaquín Caparrós, secured a very respectable 8th-place finish in La Liga, a dramatic improvement from the previous season's relegation battle. Spearheading the attack was local hero Víctor Casadesús, whose 9 goals were decisive and made him the club's all-time top Mallorcan goalscorer in the top division. It was a year defined by resilience and consistency on the pitch, despite off-field financial turmoil and a challenging start that saw a player strike threaten the season's beginning, marking a vital and proud chapter for the club.
