There were smiles all around as Real Madrid celebrated their 36 La Liga title with their fans on Sunday afternoon (May 12). Los Blancos started their journey at City Hall, then greeted fans from their open-top bus en route to Plaza de Cibeles, and finally, captain Nacho Fernandez adorned goddess Cibeles’ iconic statue with a Real Madrid scarf and flag.
Every Real Madrid player and staff enjoyed every minute of the celebrations, and deservedly so. They had well and truly bested Barcelona and Co., winning the Spanish top-flight title with four games to spare. It came on the back of a masterful La Liga campaign, during which the team had to deal with several big injuries. Yet, Carlo Ancelotti and Co. prevailed, further increasing their lead to 26-time La Liga winners Barcelona.
Today, we will take a look a brief look at Real Madrid’s La Liga journey and discuss five factors that helped them come out on top. Let’s begin!
#5 Impactful Subs
Real Madrid Beat Bayern Munich In Champions League Semi-Final Thanks To Joselu’s Brace
Coach Carlo Ancelotti has not tinkered too much with his starting XI throughout the 2023-24 season, but he has given enough opportunities for benchwarmers to impress. Appreciating the rarity of these chances, the substitutes gave their all every time they walked out, delivering impressive performances.
Joselu Mato, Luka Modric, Brahim Diaz, and Eduardo Camavinga were all superb every time they came off the bench. Joselu and Diaz, in particular, were a class apart. The striker scored nine times and provided two assists in 33 games. Joselu only started 14 of those matches.
Diaz, meanwhile, forced Rodrygo to keep looking over his shoulder, as he ensured the Brazilian was not an automatic first choice for Carlo Ancelotti. The ex-Manchester City man played 30 La Liga games (17 starts), scoring eight times and claiming four assists.
