The 2021–22 Real Madrid Club de Fútbol season is the 118th season in existence and the club's 91st consecutive season in the top flight of Spanish football. In addition to the domestic league, Real Madrid are participating in this season's editions of the Copa del Rey, the Supercopa de España, and the UEFA Champions League.

This season is the first since 2004–05 without former captain Sergio Ramos, who departed for Paris Saint-Germain in the summer and first since 2010–11 without the Frenchman Raphaël Varane, with the two having been Madrid's first choice center-back pairing for years, leaving in the same transfer window.

Summary[]

Pre-season[]

On 27 May, after the conclusion of the 2020–21 season, Zinedine Zidane announced that he would leave Real Madrid.[5] The next day, Real Madrid announced the signing of David Alaba on a free transfer from Bayern Munich. Alaba signed on a five-year contract.[6] Carlo Ancelotti returned as the head coach on 1 June, having already led Madrid in 2013–15.[7] On 16 June, the club announced that Sergio Ramos would leave after 16 years of service.[8]

August[]

The first match of the season was won 4–1 against Alavés on 14 August. Karim Benzema scored a brace, with the other goals coming from Nacho and Vinícius Júnior.[9] Raphaël Varane left Madrid on the same day, to join Manchester United.[10] On 20 August, Martin Ødegaard left the club to join Arsenal.[11] Two goals from Vinícius and a goal from Gareth Bale saved Madrid a point in a 3–3 draw with Levante on 22 August.[12] Six days later, a goal from Dani Carvajal secured three points for Madrid in a 1–0 win over Real Betis.[13] On 31 August, Eduardo Camavinga joined the club on a transfer from Rennes.[14]

September[]

A hat-trick from Benzema, a strike from Vinícius and a debut goal from Camavinga gave Madrid a 5–2 win over Celta Vigo on 12 September,[15] their first game at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium in 560 days following extensive renovations.[16] Three days later, a late goal from Rodrygo got Madrid off to a winning start in the UEFA Champions League, with a 1–0 win over Inter Milan.[17] On 19 September, two late goals from Benzema and Vinícius gave Madrid a 2–1 win over Valencia.[18] Three days later, Mallorca was defeated 6–1, with a hat-trick from Marco Asensio, a brace from Benzema, and a goal from Isco.[19] A home match against Villarreal on 25 September ended in a 0–0 draw, which was Madrid's first official game without scoring a goal.[20] On 28 September, Madrid suffered a 1–2 upset home loss to Sheriff Tiraspol in the Champions League, where Benzema converted a penalty to score the momentary equalizer.[21]

October[]

The next game on 3 October ended in another loss, a 1–2 defeat to Espanyol in which Benzema scored the lone goal for Madrid.[22] On 19 October, Madrid defeated Shakhtar Donetsk 5–0 away from home on Matchday 3 of the Champions League. The goals came from Benzema, Rodrygo, a brace from Vinícius plus an own goal.[23] Five days later, the first El Clásico of the season against Barcelona was won 2–1 after goals from David Alaba, a debut one for the Austrian, and Lucas Vázquez.[24] The home game against Osasuna on 27 October ended in a goalless draw.[25] Elche were defeated three days later on the road with a score of 2–1 thanks to a Vinícius brace.[26]

November[]

On 3 November, Madrid defeated Shakhtar 2–1 at home after a brace from Benzema.

December[]

On the first day of the new month, a Benzema goal secured Madrid a 1–0 home victory over Athletic Bilbao.[32] Three days later, another Basque team, Real Sociedad, was beaten 2–0 at Anoeta with goals from Vinícius and Luka Jović.[33] Goals from Kroos and Asensio on 7 December secured Madrid a first-place finish in their Champions League group with a 2–0 home win over Inter.[34] On 12 December, Benzema and Asensio scored for a 2–0 Madrid Derby win against Atlético Madrid at the Bernabéu.[35] The home game against Cádiz on 19 December ended in a goalless draw.[36] Bilbao were defeated 2–1 away from home on the last matchday of 2021, with Benzema scoring a brace.[37]

The score was 2–2, with Modrić and Militão scoring the goals.[45]

February[]

On 3 February, Madrid faced Athletic Bilbao at the San Mamés in the Copa del Rey quarter-finals in their first game of the month.

On 5 March, goals from Camavinga, Modrić, Benzema and Asensio helped Madrid to take a smashing 4–1 victory over Real Sociedad in the first game of the month, a day before the club's 120th birthday.[52] Four days later, Madrid faced Paris Saint-Germain at the Bernabéu in the second leg of the Champions League round of 16. A hat-trick from Benzema powered Real's late comeback, with the team winning 3–1 (3–2 on aggregate) and progressing to the quarter-finals.[53] On 14 March, Madrid defeated Mallorca away from home, with Benzema scoring twice and Vinícius also on the scoresheet.[54] On 20 March, Madrid hosted the third El Clásico of the season and lost 0–4.
