Edited by Timeline Sports Desk

Real Madrid has clinched their 36th La Liga title, cementing their status as one of the most successful clubs in Spanish as well as world football history. The team sealed the championship with a decisive victory against Cádiz, leaving four games remaining in the fiercely contested championship. The Los Blancos, managed by legendary coach Carlo Ancelotti, won the title with four matches to spare. Real emerged the champions as Girona thrashed then second placed Barcelona, the arch rivals of the capital based club, for 4-2. Now, Real Madrid has 87 points and Girona is placed at second place with 74 points, followed by the Catalans, who has 73 points.

Real Madrid’s journey to the title was marked by a series of impressive performances, characterised by both attacking flair and defensive solidity. Despite facing setbacks due to injuries to key players such as Courtois, Militão, and Alaba, the team rallied together to produce spectacular displays on the field.

Under the guidance of manager Ancelotti, Real Madrid embarked on a remarkable start to the La Liga campaign, securing five consecutive victories and seizing the top spot on the league table from the second matchday. Although facing stiff competition and occasional alternations in first place, the team solidified their position at the summit of the table from matchday 18 onwards, demonstrating their resilience and determination.

Key contributions from standout players such as Bellingham and Vini Jr. played a pivotal role in Real Madrid’s title triumph. Bellingham, in particular, made a significant impact with his impressive goal-scoring record, netting 18 goals in La Liga and proving instrumental in crucial matches, including the two Clásicos against arch-rivals. Meanwhile, Vini Jr.’s stellar performances, boasting 13 goals and 13 assists, underscored his status as one of the most influential players in world football.

For manager Carlo Ancelotti, the title represents yet another accolade in his illustrious career, marking his second La Liga triumph and 12th title as Real Madrid coach. Ancelotti’s remarkable feat also solidifies his status as the only coach to have won top-flight titles in Spain, England, Germany, Italy, and France, further highlighting his unparalleled coaching prowess.
