1996–97 Real Madrid CF season

For the first time since the 1977–78 season, Real Madrid only played in the domestic competitions after having rejected the option to enter the 1996 Intertoto Cup.{{cite web|url=https://elpais.com/diario/1996/04/20/deportes/829951210_850215.html|title=Real Oviedo say Yes to Intertoto Cup|language=es|work=El País|date=1 April 1996|access-date=2 August 2020}} Madrid returned to domestic glory in the only season under the Fabio Capello's reign, who, after much conflict with club president Lorenzo Sanz, announced his exit already in mid-season, choosing to return to Italy (where he would eventually settle at his old club AC Milan). New signings Predrag Mijatović and Davor Šuker played alongside main striker Raúl González as well as Clarence Seedorf in midfield. Real Madrid was nearly on course to sign Newcastle United-bound Alan Shearer courtesy of his best form at Blackburn Rovers, but due to already featuring Raúl González as the club's main striker, Alan Shearer preferred to stay in England. Roberto Carlos,{{cite web|url=https://www.marca.com/en/football/real-madrid/2021/04/28/60898eede2704e9cbc8b4603.html|title=Capello reveals how he signed Roberto Carlos for Real Madrid in 24 hours|work=Marca|location=Spain|date=27 April 2021}} Carlos Secretário, Christian Panucci, and mid-season arrival Zé Roberto were also new signings in defense.

In May 1997, Real Madrid began to slip due to injuries of key players despite having won 3 of 5 matches in that month. However as rivals Barcelona also slipped in early June after a loss against Hércules, Real took an advantage by crushing CF Extremadura 5-0 in the same weekend. Real Madrid eventually won the La Liga title with a record 92 points, after a 3–1 victory against Atlético Madrid on the penultimate round of the season (five points ahead of Barcelona), and thus Fabio Capello became the first-ever Italian manager to win La Liga silverware. In the Copa del Rey, Madrid advanced to the round of 16 where they faced perennial rivals Barcelona, losing 4–3 on aggregate. The Catalans went on to win the tournament, setting up a Super Cup clash against Madrid.
