21st anniversary of the club's 29th LaLiga title
Real Madrid secured the 2002/03 league crown after overcoming Athletic in a 3-1 triumph at the Santiago Bernabéu.
Today marks 21 years since Real Madrid's 29th LaLiga title. The team got their hands on the trophy on the final matchday after a 3-1 win over Athletic at the Santiago Bernabéu. A Ronaldo double and a Roberto Carlos strike clinched the league once more. The 2002/03 title race proved to be a tight affair as Real Madrid, on 78 points, ultimately pipped Real Sociedad (76 points) to the post.
Vicente del Bosque's troops finished the season as the division's highest scorers (86). In the individual stakes, Ronaldo's 23-goal haul saw him top the team's scoring charts. The LaLiga title was the team's third trophy of the season after the madridistas captured the UEFA Super Cup by beating Feyenoord and enjoyed Intercontinental Cup success following victory over Club Olimpia.
