Real Madrid’s LaLiga triumph capped a remarkable milestone for Carlo Ancelotti on Saturday as the Italian became the first manager to capture titles in each of Europe’s top five leagues—England, Spain, Germany, Italy, and France.
Real clinched their 35th league crown following a thumping 4–0 win against Espanyol, clinching the title with almost a month of the season remaining.
The 62-year-old Ancelotti has one of the most-decorated CVs in world football and when he was lured back to Madrid for a second spell last June following the departure of club great Zinedine Zidane, he knew that his only mission was to increase Real’s trophy haul.
