Real Madrid won La Liga after defeating Cadiz last week and Barcelona losing to Girona. They cheered and danced, but everyone knew that the joy was not yet complete.

Real Madrid overcame Barcelona in the season’s second El Clasico, and Ancelotti’s team demolished Cadiz. That win signified that Real Madrid would eventually claim the La Liga title this season, but it happened sooner than expected when Barcelona lost to Girona for the second time this season.

However, Los Blancos did not let their jubilation last long, not even considering displaying the 36th national championship medal in the tradition room. Ancelotti’s professors and students understand that they are facing Bayern Munich in the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals. The season’s delight will be incomplete if Jude Bellingham and his teammates only win two trophies; they must win three.

Carlo Ancelotti’s calm was clear when Brahim Diaz scored the first goal against Cadiz. The Italian strategist did not celebrate too enthusiastically; only his son, Davide Ancelotti, was pleased with the rest of his assistants.

Then, when Jude Bellingham and Joselu scored, Carletto kept the same mentality. When the final whistle rang, the players could hear chants of “Champion” from all around the stadium. They dashed over and shared the delight with the crowd. However, after everyone retired to the tunnel, they went directly home to rest, leaving only Ancelotti to answer the post-match news conference.

After defeating Cadiz, Real Madrid had only four days to prepare for their match against Bayern Munich. Some players and coaching staff did not travel home after the night’s victory over Cadiz; instead, they rested at the Bernabeu.

After seeing Barcelona lose to Girona, several Real Madrid fans rejoiced on the spot since they knew their club had officially won the championship. Every year, tens of thousands of people gather to Cibeles Square to celebrate and launch fireworks. This year, only approximately 2,000 people turned out to celebrate. Because the number was not very large, the police did not issue a road closure order, as they do every year. There was a light celebration vibe, just enough to make everyone realize that winning the Champions League was something worth celebrating.

“I’d like to send a message to everyone; please be calm. The La Liga championship celebration will take place in a week (after the match against Bayern). Currently, the entire team is focused solely on the match against Bayern. Bayern Munich,” shared captain Nacho.

The current atmosphere is fairly comparable to that of two years ago, when Real Madrid won La Liga while still in the Champions League semi-finals against Manchester City. After that, everything was history because no one expected Real Madrid to come back against Manchester City at home with a 1% chance of winning. As a result, they won tickets to the final and defeated Liverpool.

The reaction of Real Madrid’s players and coaching staff following Saturday’s victory over Cadiz does not diminish the value of the La Liga championship. Simply said, they want to restrain their emotions enough to be more “excited” if they win against Bayern this week.
