Which club first reached 100 points in a La Liga season?

Real Madrid first reached 100 points in a La Liga season, doing so in 2011–12. The milestone completed one of the most dominant campaigns in Spanish football history.

Managed by José Mourinho, Madrid won 32 of their 38 league matches and finished nine points ahead of Barcelona. They scored 121 goals, set a +89 goal difference, won 16 away matches and captured the title after defeating Athletic Bilbao on 2 May 2012.

The 100-point total was not an isolated record. Real Madrid also became the first La Liga club to reach that mark, but Barcelona matched it the following season, winning 100 points in 2012–13. That means the record is shared rather than held exclusively by Madrid.

A common mix-up is confusing the points record with the goals record. Madrid’s 121 goals in 2011–12 were a separate league benchmark, while Lionel Messi’s Barcelona led the scoring charts that season through his 50 individual goals.
