Summary
The club clinched the league trophy after almost 15 years since the last title in a close race against archrivals Real Madrid[1] clinching the league in the last round.[2] Meanwhile, in European Cup Winners' Cup the squad reached the quarterfinals stage only to be defeated by future Champions Borussia Dortmund which will mean the first Continental trophy for a German club.[3] Also Forward Luis Aragones shared the Pichichi trophy for the highest scorer in the league.[4]
