Real Madrid's Relentless Hunger for Silverware
A Look Back at the 2004-05 Season
If anything defines Real Madrid, it is a relentless hunger for silverware. That much was clear even during the 2004-05 season, when the team finished second in La Liga and lost in the semi-finals of the Champions League.
A Season of Ups and Downs
The 2004-05 season was a rollercoaster for Real Madrid. The team started the season strongly, winning their first six matches in La Liga. However, they then hit a rough patch, losing three of their next four matches.
Despite their struggles in La Liga, Real Madrid managed to reach the semi-finals of the Champions League. However, they were eliminated by Juventus in a dramatic penalty shootout.
A Squad of Champions
Despite their disappointing finish to the season, Real Madrid still had a squad of world-class players. The team was led by captain Raúl González, who scored 25 goals in all competitions.
Other key players included Ronaldo, Zinedine Zidane, and David Beckham. The team also had a strong defense, led by Sergio Ramos and Roberto Carlos.
Looking Ahead
The 2004-05 season was a disappointing one for Real Madrid, but the team showed that they have the talent and determination to compete for major trophies.
The team will be hoping to bounce back from their disappointment this season and challenge for the La Liga title and the Champions League in 2005-06.
