Real Madrid Wins Record 35th La Liga Title as Ancelotti Makes History (Sports Illustrated)

Carlo Ancelotti has now won titles in La Liga, the Premier League, Bundesliga, Ligue 1 and Serie A after guiding Madrid to a record 35th domestic league ...

Nevertheless, it’s been a title-winning season at home, in Saudi Arabia (where Madrid edged Barcelona in extra time in the semifinal and then beat Athletic Bilbao in the final for the Spanish Super Cup) and could be in Paris as well, if Ancelotti’s side can upend Pep Guardiola’s at the Bernabéu midweek to return to the Champions League final. There was the infamous Champions League group-stage home defeat to Moldova’s Sheriff Tiraspol in September, and it has lost three of its five knockout-stage matches en route to the second leg of the semifinals. As for other major decisions the club will face, Croatian great Luka Modrić is reportedly closing in on another one-year deal to stay put, while Gareth Bale, Isco and Marcelo are all on expiring contracts, too. Of its three league losses, one was a humiliating 4–0 home defeat to Barcelona in March’s edition of El Clásico (a match Benzema missed). Madrid was also bounced from the Copa del Rey in the quarterfinals, ousted by Athletic Bilbao in a 1–0 result. Real Madrid still holds out hope of adding to its record tally of European silverware (13 titles) but it must overcome a 4–3 aggregate deficit to Manchester City in Madrid on Wednesday following their outrageous semifinal first leg in England this past week. For a record 35th time, Real Madrid has won La Liga’s championship, clinching the title with four games to spare following Saturday’s 4–0 win vs.

Real has been the dominant side in Spain this season -- so far winning 25 league games and losing just three -- with Benzema's 42 goals in 42 games spearheading that success. Real has now won 35 league titles -- nine more than rival Barça -- and it means Ancelotti has become the first manager to win the Premier League, the Bundesliga, Serie A, Ligue 1 and La Liga in his coaching career. It is Real's second league title in three years and one Carlo Ancelotti's side has claimed with relative ease having moved an unassailable 16 points ahead of Barcelona with five games left to play this season.

Uncontested: Karim Benzema-led Real Madrid win Liga title with ease (The Indian Express)

Madrid won its record-extending 35th Spanish league title with a 4-0 win over Espanyol, gaining an insurmountable lead with four rounds to go.

Ancelotti had been criticized for not rotating his players enough in his first stint at the club from 2013-15, when he failed to win the league. That leaves Madrid with the league’s best offense, with 12 goals more than Barcelona. “It’s always special to win the league,” Modric said. Before that, Barcelona had won six titles in eight seasons, with Madrid one and Atlético another. Defending champion Atlético Madrid got off to a slow start and never had enough momentum to contend. Sevilla was near the top for a period but could not keep up, eventually seeing its chances disappear after a demoralizing 3-2 loss to Madrid at home after leading 2-0 at halftime a few rounds ago.

With Real Madrid focused on bringing Kylian Mbappe and currently in possession of the best attacking duo in La Liga already, Vinicius Jr. and Karim Benzema, it’s hard to see where Ronaldo fits in. Given ten Hag’s Ajax play in a very set style, some have wondered if that would render Ronaldo somewhat redundant as Manchester United consider a rebuild. That being said, it would be a sensational turn of events.

Manchester United are currently placed sixth on the Premier League points table with 55 points from 35 matches and are likely to finish outside the top four this season. Real Madrid are keen on a reunion with Ronaldo as they believe the Portuguese superstar guarantees goals in La Liga despite being 37 at present. Ronaldo, who joined United from Juventus last summer, has been brilliant in front of the goal despite being on the wrong side of his 30s.

They are 17 points ahead of second-placed Sevilla and 18 clear of Barcelona, who have a game in hand, and needed a point against Espanyol to clinch the title with almost a month of the season remaining.

It seems unlikely Real Madrid would bring both to the club as well as a Ronaldo reunion this summer, but certainly stranger things have happened in football. It also claims that new United manager Erik Ten Hag is not keen on maintaining a dynamic personality like Ronaldo in the locker room. He signed a two-year contract with United with a third-year option last summer.

The good news is that Casemiro seems to have made a full recovery and played 60m minutes against Espanyol. Playing at centre-back, he should be fully fit for the City match and could be an outside option for the central defence if Alaba isn’t fit. Having damaged his hamstring against Osasuna, he was again forced off at half-time in the first leg against Manchester City. There was little time for the players to enjoy their success, as they were in training the following morning at Valdebebas, with an eye on the second leg of their Champions League semi-final second leg on Wednesday.

Real Madrid's unstoppable XI if Ronaldo returns, Mbappe joins and ... (Daily Express)

REAL MADRID are interested in Cristiano Ronaldo and Kylian Mbappe as the summer transfer window creeps closer.

And Tchouameni could join from Monaco as well. But if Ronaldo and Mbappe arrive, the Brazil international may find himself struggling to get into the side. For Casemiro and Eduardo Camavinga, they may then have to settle for a place on the bench. And Ferland Mendy would go on the opposite side of their defence, especially with Marcelo’s time with the club drawing to an end. And that means the Belgium international is poised to have an undroppable status for many years to come. Rudiger is poised to leave Chelsea as a free agent and some have claimed the Germany international has already agreed to move to Spain.

Cristiano Ronaldo could be set for a shock move back to Real Madrid this summer, according to reports.The Manchester United talisman is set for an unc.

“That’s the job of Erik ten Hag, to put a style of play that the players buy into, that makes them want to work for each other, that is identifiable for the players and actually quite simple. “I think a manager who goes in there and inspires these players will find that actually there is a decent squad of players there. He told talkSPORT: “There seems to be a spirit between the players and the staff at Arsenal, and you just don’t see that at Manchester United. With the Dutch boss focused on a wholesale rebuild of the first team squad that focuses on youth and high energy, Ronaldo is one of a number of players who won’t be guaranteed to start every game. Dean Ashton was discussing the situation at Manchester United following the clash with Arsenal midweek and believes that ten Hag must offer structure to the United squad, regardless of who is involved. The Manchester United talisman is set for an uncertain future at Old Trafford with Erik ten Hag set to take over as the club’s manager at the end of the season.

Real Madrid clinch LaLiga, Burnley and Everton keep fighting, Serie ... (ESPN)

LaLiga's title was won, Serie A got hotter and two Premier League sides pulled out amazing wins at the bottom. Here's what you missed this weekend.

Madrid may have already won the league, but they will take great glee in denting their rival's hopes of qualifying for the Champions League. Atletico then travel to Elche before finishing the season against Sevilla and Real Sociedad, two sides competing with them for a top-four position. So it is not all over for them but they are so bad defensively (and offensively too to be fair) that they still need a miracle to stay up. They are second from bottom, yet only four points behind Saint-Etienne in the relegation playoff position with three games to go. It looks arguably easier for Inter from here -- besides a Coppa Italia final against Juventus, they face three of the bottom six to close out their campaign, while Milan still have Atalanta and Sassuolo on the schedule -- but Milan's two-point lead is all the motivation they should need. Naby Keita's winner at St. James' Park was a well-worked team goal in its own right, but it was also vitally important in the context of the title race. (Mark "85th minute penalty for the visitors" on your bingo card.) But the joy was Locadia's finish to tie the game: taking advantage of some gentle defending by Manuel Akanji, the Dutch forward calmly cushioned Milos Pantovic's outswinging cross on his instep, swiveled off Kanji's hip and thundered it low beyond a helpless Marwin Hitz. It was a slick finish that silenced the Dortmund fans and set the stage for the remarkable comeback win. Milan left it late to beat Fiorentina 1-0, needing a goalkeeper gaffe for Rafael Leao to break the deadlock in the 82nd minute and clinch the three points that seemed destined to elude them. As things stand, that point is the only thing separating Cadiz and Granada, who occupy the third and final relegation spot, with four nail-biting games to go. As always, though, the two Olympiques, Marseille and Lyon, offered a great spectacle and Lyon continued their superb run against their rivals, with only one loss in their last 14 encounters. They have lost just three times in breezing to a second title in three years, wrestling the trophy back from Atletico. Manager Peter Bosz was smart in his choices ( Bradley Barcola starting on the right, Thiago Mendes and Houssem Aouar in midfield), a phrase that we haven't said much this season considering some of his shocking decisions at other points during a tough season. In only a short space of time, he's got the squad playing for him while also reigniting their belief.
