Real Madrid win 35th La Liga title

Real Madrid, on Saturday, emerged the champions of La Liga for the 35 th time in the club’s history after thrashing Espanyol 4-0.

The result confirmed the La Liga title for Real Madrid with four rounds of matches remaining.

Carlo Ancelotti has however become the first coach to win a title in each of Europe’s top five leagues, adding La Liga to his titles in Serie A, the Premier League, Ligue 1, and the Bundesliga.

This represents a special title for the Los Blancos as it is the first league title that they have lifted at their Santiago Bernabeu stadium since 2007.

Three of their last four titles have been sealed away from home while the 2020 crown was won at Valdebebas, when the club’s home stadium was closed for construction work.
