Real Madrid have achieved their thirty-fifth title in the Spanish Football League with a 4-0 win over host Espanyol in stage thirty-four on Saturday to make Italian Carlo Ancheloni history as the only manager to win the title of five major European championships. .
Two-time scorers from Brazil’s Rodrigo (33 and 43), Asensio (55) and brilliant substitute Frenchman Karim Benzema (81) scored goals in the match. And with four games left in the season, no team can catch up with the Royal Club, who have raised their score to 81 points and are now 18 points behind Barcelona, who can only close the gap to 15 points on Sunday.
Real Madrid have regained the title it lost last year to neighbor Atlético Madrid after it was won in 2020 under French coach Zinedine Zidane.
Real Madrid became the first team to win the title with four stages left in the season since 1990, when it achieved the achievement.
The capital team entered the match at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium and a draw was needed only to determine the title, regardless of the results of other matches, and it is 15 points behind Sevilla II, and Barcelona, which plays in Sunday, at 18. with Real Mallorca.
Previously, Ancelotti won the Italian championship with AC Milan (2004), the Englishman with Chelsea (2010), the Frenchman with Paris Saint-Germain (2013) and the German with Bayern Munich (2017).
Despite the euphoria of victory, Real Madrid will not be late to turn their attention to the Champions League on Wednesday for the highly anticipated semi-final second leg against Manchester City after a dramatic 4-3 defeat in England on Tuesday.
For this reason, Ancelotti rested many of his stars, most notably Benzema and Brazil’s Vinicius Junior, who scored two goals and one against City respectively, and German midfielder Toni Kroos, who went into the second half. Austrian defender David Alaba was also absent due to injury, while Brazilian Eder Militao was suspended and replaced by midfielder Citizen Casemiro.
