Mission completed for Ancelotti as Real Madrid reunion pays off

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti might have thought his days of winning Europe's biggest leagues were a thing of the past but on Saturday he added La Liga to his glittering list of honours.

Madrid's triumph, sealed with a 4-0 win against Espanyol, ensured Ancelotti becomes the only coach to have clinched all five major European league titles. He also won the Premier League with Chelsea, Serie A with AC Milan, Ligue 1 with Paris Saint-Germain and the Bundesliga with Bayern Munich.

And while Ancelotti's Chelsea pipped Alex Ferguson's Manchester United to the league by a single point in 2010 the others have all been won at a canter, with Real's latest success another emphatic and long-expected title win for Ancelotti to add to his CV.
