In the first few years of this new decade three trophies were added to the cabinet by José Mourinho's Real Madrid. The most notable was the 2011-12 Liga title, which they won with a record-breaking 100 points, the highest score achieved in the history of the championship at that stage, and 121 goals. They also beat Barcelona to clinch a Copa del Rey and a Supercopa de España.

In June 2013, Carlo Ancelotti arrived at Real Madrid. The Italian won four trophies with the Whites, the first coming in the shape of Real Madrid's nineteenth Copa del Rey, after beating Barcelona 1-2 in the final. On 24 May 2014, Madrid lifted the European Cup once again, claiming La Décima with a 4-1 victory over Atlético in Lisbon. Goals from Ramos, Bale, Marcelo and Cristiano secured the triumph.

In Ancelotti's second season, further silverware arrived: the European Super Cup against Sevilla and Real Madrid's first Club World Cup, against San Lorenzo, rounding off a historic 2014 in which the team won more trophies than any other year. In June 2015, Rafa Benítez returned to the club he learned his trade at to lead a new chapter for the Whites. January 2016 saw legendary former Whites player Zinedine Zidane named as coach of the first team.
