# 2002–03 Real Madrid CF season

The 2002–03 season was Real Madrid's 72nd season in La Liga. This article lists all matches that the club played in the 2002–03 season, and also shows statistics of the club's players. This season marked the return of their purple away kits, and a new shirt sponsor, Siemens Mobile.
Real Madrid returned to domestic league glory under Vicente del Bosque after a 3–1 victory against Athletic Bilbao in the last game of the season, but the club surprisingly sacked del Bosque shortly after winning the La Liga title after he had not been offered a new contract. He was replaced by a surprise candidate Carlos Queiroz. Madrid were also on course to retain their Champions League title (as well as winning La Decima) before being eliminated by Juventus in the semi-finals. In the domestic cup, the club was eliminated by eventual champions Mallorca with a 1–5 aggregate loss.
