La Liga seasons worth knowing

2011-12 and 2012-13: two 100-point teams

José Mourinho’s Real Madrid became the first La Liga side to reach 100 points in 2011-12, scoring 121 goals along the way. The next season Barcelona, coached by Tito Vilanova, matched the 100 points. Nobody has topped it since.

It was the first title for a club other than Real Madrid or Barcelona since Valencia in 2003-04, and Simeone’s side won again in 2020-21.
