Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti has today become the first manager to win all five major leagues in European football.
Los Blancos earned a 4-0 victory over RCD Espanyol at the Santiago Bernabeu in La Liga this evening. Goals from Marco Asensio and Karim Benzema and a brace from Rodrygo sealed the win for the Madrid giants.
Real Madrid have thus been crowned champions of Spain, with four more games left to play. Ancelotti and Co have earned 81 points from 34 matches, tasting defeat just three times on their road to glory.
