Liga: Real Madrid wins the Spanish championship for the 36th time
Real regains its crown. A few hours after its victory against Cadiz (3-0), the Madrid club officially validated its 36th La Liga title, Saturday May 4, since FC Barcelona, runner-up before the 34th day, lost on the Girona lawn ( 2-4). Now 13 points ahead with four games remaining in the championship, Carlo Ancelotti’s men can no longer be caught at the top of the standings.
Always calm on his bench, the Italian coach has entered the history of world football a little further with his 28th trophy as a coach. He, who was already the only one to have been crowned in the five major European championships, has now twice won all the club trophies that the Spanish giant could win (Liga, Champions League, Copa del Rey, Spanish Super Cup, Super Cup). Europe and Club World Cup).
Announced for a time as the next coach of Brazil, the “Mister” finally extended his contract until 2026 last December. Its leaders are convinced of its ability to successfully complete the transition of the White House, which was thought to have reached the end of one of its most beautiful victorious cycles.
This season, Real has shown impressive solidity while being buoyed by the numerous brilliance of the Brazilians Rodrygo and Vinicius Junior, as well as the Englishman Jude Bellingham, authors of 41 goals between them in La Liga ( out of a total of 74). French internationals Aurélien Tchouaméni, Eduardo Camavinga and Ferland Mendy all started most of the year.
With Ukrainian goalkeeper Andriy Lunin, who compensated for the absence of Thibaut Courtois, they embody the new generation of this team, while Luka Modric has become a luxury replacement. The departure of Karim Benzema last summer to Al-Ittihad in Saudi Arabia was not felt badly.
