#6 Real Madrid in La Liga in the 2003-04 season
Trending
The Galacticos were better than ever after signing David Beckham in 2003-04 and looked on track to win their 30th La Liga title that year. With 12 games to go, the Los Blancos were eight points ahead of second-place Deportivo La Coruna in March but that’s when the spectacular collapse began. Their first two games of the month resulted in draws, reducing their lead to just three points at the top.

Even though they won two consecutive games at the end of March and beginning of April, their resurgence was short-lived. Madrid went on to lose seven out of their eight games four of which included consecutive defeats at home. Not only did they lose out on the league title to eventual victors Valencia but finished the season fourth.
Their horrendous performance in the final weeks of the campaign allowed Barcelona and Deportivo to climb above them. With the likes of Raul, Ronaldo Lima, Figo, Roberto Carlos and Beckham, their league victory wasn’t the foregone conclusion everyone had expected it to be.
