LALIGA has been spectacular this season and we have hardly slipped up," said coach Ancelotti after the match, before his side were mathematically crowned champions. The advantage we have is deserved we deserve to win LALIGA."
He was also mindful to urge caution and emphasise how focused his side are on Wednesday's Champions League second leg against Bayern Munich: "We have to put our joy on ice because we have a very important game ahead of us in the season. We're all focused on Wednesday's game. The less regular players have given 100% as they did against Real Sociedad. We have to be patient and wait because Wednesday is very close. We have to recover, rest and play our best against Bayern."
Nevertheless, a 36th LALIGA EA SPORTS title is another historic landmark in the history of the club. Buoyed by the stellar performances of the likes of Jude Bellingham, Vini Jr and a packed midfield with the likes of Fede Valverde, Aurelien Tchouameni, Toni Kroos and Eduardo Camavinga, the side who have hardly put a foot wrong all season are deserving champions.
