Jose Mourinho’s men completed a phenomenal 2011, breaking records on their way. Following their impressive performances, Los Blancos start the New Year as La Liga leaders.
Real Madrid improved considerable as the Portuguese manager’s reign at Santiago Bernabéu continues into his second year. The capital club overshadowed their opponents to register emphatic statistics.
Despite losing out on La Liga title in May, Real managed to post overwhelming records. For the year 2011, the Whites accumulated 91 points from their Primera Division fixtures. However, they were closely followed by reigning champions Barcelona, who had
90 points to show for their efforts.
Nevertheless, the capital club had no comparisons with their goal scoring exploits. Following their 2-6 demolition of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ramon-c30533 Sanchez Pizjuan, the Santiago Bernabéu outfit breached opposition’s defences on 119 occasions.
In contrast, Barcelona could only muster 94 goals: a mammoth feat that pales in comparison to their eternal rivals antics.
For Real, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristiano-Ronaldo-c9629 continued his majestic form in front of goal. The European Golden Boot winner added 44 goals to his ever increasing tally in the White shirt.
However, only Los Blancos backline posted indifferent results as the club were beaten a paltry three time in La Liga for the duration of the year. Mourinho’s team conceded a whopping 37 times as they surrendered title ambitions.
In comparison, La Blaugrana shot-stopper, Victor Valdes, picked the ball from his own net on 20 occasions: a major statistic in their title run.
Reviewing the efforts of Jose Mourinho’s team in 2011 with their efforts of 2010, show a vast improvement on the term where they were beaten by Barcelona on all fronts. Los Blancos added more points (103-100), scored more goals (113-101) and simultaneously
let in fewer goals (24-34).
The year also saw them ending their trophy drought, as they lifted the Copa Del Rey trophy in Mestalla, at the expense of Barcelona in the final. They also managed to post a 15 match winning run in all competitions to equal Miguel Munoz’s long established
record.
Madridista will have good omens for the year, as they go into the New Year leading http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 in La Liga standings for the first time in three years
