Cristiano Ronaldo, the winner of the Pichichi Trophy and European Golden Shoe last season, was the team's leading scorer with 46 goals in La Liga and 60 overall.
The season has been often termed by some newspapers as "La Liga de los Récords" (Spanish for "The League of the Records") as Real Madrid broke several long-standing records throughout the season, the most prominent being most goals in a season, previously held by the Real Madrid team which scored 107 goals during the 1989–90 season, by scoring 121 this season. Another major record which Real Madrid broke was the total number of points in one La Liga season. Their total of 100 was one point better than the previous record that was set by Barcelona in the 2009–10 season.

Real Madrid fired Director General Jorge Valdano on 25 May after a strained relationship over sporting decisions between him and manager José Mourinho.[9] President Florentino Pérez supported Mourinho's request to "be able to manage the team with autonomy"[10] in response to tensions during the previous season's winter transfer window and a public feud regarding Karim Benzema following a 1–1 draw against Almería.[11] Valdano was reported to be paid €3.5 million to release him from the remaining two years on his contract[11] and was replaced by José Ángel Sánchez.[12] Mourinho subsequently became head of football operations in addition to his role as head coach[13] with former player and special adviser to Pérez Zinedine Zidane as the new director of football for the first team.[14]
Real Madrid continued their transfer activity on 27 June, signing teenage French central defender Raphaël Varane from Lens for six seasons on a reported €10 million transfer.[15] On 1 July, Royston Drenthe and David Mateos returned from their loan spells at Hércules[16] and AEK Athens,[17] respectively, while Emmanuel Adebayor returned to Manchester City following a six-month loan.[18] Mateos was loaned out ten days later to Real Zaragoza with Zaragoza having an option to purchase the player permanently at the end of the season,[19] and Drenthe was loaned to Everton late on the final day of the transfer window.[20] Portuguese wingback Fábio Coentrão transferred from Benfica for €30 million[21] on 5 July and signed a six-year contract.[22]

José Mourinho's five-game touchline ban in the UEFA Champions League due to accusatory statements following the first leg of the previous season's Champions League semi-final was partially upheld following an appeal to UEFA on 29 July.[46] He was originally suspended for five matches, with the final game suspended for a probational period of three years, and fined €50,000[47] for accusing Barcelona of receiving favorable treatment from UEFA and for severely criticizing German referee Wolfgang Stark.[48] After serving the first game of his suspension in the second leg, Mourinho had the remaining four matches of his ban reduced to a two-game suspension with a potential two further games over a three-year probationary period.[49] The original fine to Mourinho was upheld along with a €20,000 fine assessed to Real Madrid for crowd trouble.[46]
The club traveled to Guangzhou, China, directly from Leicester on 1 August,[50] and signed a letter of intent the following day with Guangzhou Evergrande involving club cooperation, potential player exchanges, and the opening of the largest football academy in China.[51] On 3 August, Real Madrid defeated Chinese Super League leaders Guangzhou Evergrande 7–1,[52][53] with goals from Sami Khedira, Özil, Benzema twice, Ronaldo, Jesé, and Ángel Di María.[54] The following day, attacking midfielder Sergio Canales joined Valencia on loan for two seasons with Valencia retaining a purchase option of €12 million at the end of each season.[55] Real Madrid concluded their pre-season world tour with all victories on 6 August,[56] defeating Tianjin Teda 6–0[57] with goals from Kaká, Di María, Gonzalo Higuaín, Ronaldo and a double by Benzema.[40]

Real Madrid's La Liga campaign was scheduled to begin on 21 August at home against Athletic Bilbao,[73] but the Spanish Footballers' Association, with representation from all 42 teams in the top two divisions,[74] unanimously elected to strike[75] after failing to reach a collective bargaining agreement with the Liga de Fútbol Profesional,[76] causing the postponement of the first weekend of fixtures.[77] The team won their seventh consecutive Santiago Bernabéu Trophy, defeating Turkish Süper Lig side Galatasaray on 24 August.[78] Before the match, Real Madrid officially presented their five new summer signings[79] and honored their three youth team players on the Spanish Under-19 squad that won the 2011 UEFA European Under-19 Football Championship.[80] Selçuk İnan scored early for Galatasaray from close range, but a pair of assists from man of the match Xabi Alonso[81] to Sergio Ramos and Benzema led Real Madrid to a 2–1 victory in the annual friendly.[82] Real Madrid's La Liga season began with a 0–6 win at Real Zaragoza on 28 August,[83] with goals from Marcelo, Alonso, Kaká and a hat-trick by Ronaldo,[84] including his 100th goal as a Real Madrid player.[85] The win was the most lopsided away victory on opening day in Spanish top flight history.[86]
On 31 August, the final day of the summer transfer window, Real Madrid loaned out midfielders Pedro León, Fernando Gago and Royston Drenthe.[87] Pedro León joined Getafe,[88] the team he was purchased from a year ago,[89] and Gago joined Roma,[90] with both Getafe and Roma retaining the option to acquire their respective player for €6 million at the end of the season.[91][92] Drenthe joined Everton for a season-long loan in a deal that was finalized late on deadline day.[20]

On 25 April, in the second leg of the Champions League against Bayern Munich, Cristiano Ronaldo initially put Madrid up 2–0, but former Madrid player Arjen Robben netted an away goal back for Bayern with a penalty. The match ended 2–1 after extra time and as both sides were tied 3–3, it went to a shootout. During penalties, Iker Casillas made two saves but Ronaldo, Kaká and Ramos failed to convert their spot kicks and Madrid lost 3–1.
