It was already a foregone conclusion heading into La Liga's 38th and final matchday on Saturday night, but Real Madrid (and José Mourinho) are celebrating the fact that their record for most points in a Spanish league season remains intact. This is due to Barcelona suffering two unexpected defeats in recent weeks.
With yesterday's 3-1 loss to Valencia, following a 1-0 defeat against Alavés, the Catalans finished the season with 94 points. This places them six points behind Mourinho's 2011/12 merengue squad, which amassed 100 points.
The Madrid club also still holds the records for most goals scored (121), largest goal difference (89), more wins (16), and most away points (50).
The current Benfica manager, who is preparing for a return to the Spanish capital, also boasts the highest win percentage (71.9%) for any coach with 50 or more games in Real Madrid's history.
José Mourinho faces a challenging task to restore the blancos' dominance in La Liga, especially considering that since his departure, Real has only secured four league titles, compared to seven for the blaugrana and two for Atlético Madrid.
