Real Madrid is facing a rare trophyless season, marking the first time in 16 years that neither the football nor basketball teams have secured any titles. The "Queen" endured a disappointing year across both major sports.

In football, Real Madrid could not keep pace with Barcelona in La Liga, finishing second. Their European campaign ended in the Champions League quarterfinals against Bayern Munich. Domestically, they were eliminated early from the Copa del Rey and lost the Supercopa final.

The basketball team also failed to lift any trophies. After losing the EuroLeague final, they were defeated in the Copa del Rey final by Baskonia. Furthermore, they lost the Spanish Supercopa final to Valencia.

This barren season marks a significant downturn for the club, ending a 16-year streak of winning at least one title in either football or basketball.
