Football History

Under Ancelotti's guidance, Real Madrid secured a 14th European Cup. In his second spell at the club, the Italian coach lifted the continental trophy again in 2022, after beating Liverpool in Paris courtesy of a goal from Vini Jr. It was the crowning glory of a spectacular 2021/22 season in which two more titles were won. First, the club's 12th Spanish Super Cup, beating Athletic in the final (0-2). And then, the 35th league title. With four games still to play, the team lifted the trophy in front of their fans after thumping Espanyol 4-0.

Success followed at the start of the 2022/23 campaign with a Uefa Super Cup win over Eintracht Frankfurt (2-0). In February 2023, the Whites clinched their eighth Club World Cup with a 5-3 win over Al Hilal in the final in Rabat. And in May, Ancelotti's charges sealed their third trophy of the season by beating Osasuna in the final of the Copa del Rey courtesy of a Rodrygo brace.
