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.
