Real Madrid failed to retain their La Liga title, but made up for the domestic disappointment by winning the UEFA Champions League with a 1–0 victory over Juventus in the Amsterdam final. The European Cup title was Real Madrid's 7th overall and first since 1966. This, however, was not enough to save the job of manager Jupp Heynckes, who was sacked due to Madrid's low league finish just eight days after the European triumph. In the Copa del Rey, Real lost to Alaves in the round of 16 on away goals.[1]
