Real Madrid got through a Group Stage in which they faced PSG, Kharkiv from Ukraine and Breidablik from Iceland. With four wins in six games, they reached the quarter-finals of the top European competition for the first time, in which the team led by Alberto Toril competed at a high level against Barcelona. The accumulation of matches and injuries in the squad meant that the start in the League was not what was expected. After 11 games, Alberto Toril replaced David Aznar as coach. With 9 wins in the first 10 competitive matches under the coach from Crdoba, the team moved up the table to finish with 12 wins and a draw in the last 15 games of the season. This meant the team finished third and, once again, qualified to play in the Preliminary Round of the Women's Champions League.

Meanwhile, in the semi-finals of the Spanish Super Cup, Barcelona was put on the ropes again and could only win the match with a goal in added time (1-0). In the Copa de la Reina, the team first beat Alhama de Murcia, then Levante in the quarter-finals and reached the semi-finals in which, once again, it was unable to beat Barcelona. 208 209 ZORNOZA, MAHOU FIVE STAR PLAYER OF THE SEASON the Claudia Zornoza received Mahou Five Star Player award from Real Madrid for the 2021/22 season.
