Real Madrid Trophyless Despite Mbappé's Stellar Season

Real Madrid's 2024–25 season ended without major trophies despite Kylian Mbappé's prolific debut, scoring 43 goals and earning both the Pichichi Trophy and European Golden Boot. The club finished second in La Liga, the Spanish Super Cup, and the Copa del Rey, while also experiencing an early Champions League exit and persistent injuries among key players. This disappointing run led to the departure of manager Carlo Ancelotti, marking a sharp contrast with the previous season's successes. The summary also notes the club's history with English players and their varying impact. In England, Liverpool secured a record 20th league title under new manager Arne Slot, while Chelsea qualified for the Champions League and won the Conference League. The season highlighted significant shifts in fortunes for several of Europe’s top football clubs.
