Despite making no fewer than nine changes from the side that started at the Etihad earlier in the week, Thibaut Courtois and Luka Modric being the sole survivors, it was another stellar outing ahead of the semi-final return leg against Manchester City<\/p>\n\n<p>There was a semblance of patience required as Brazilian duo Marcelo and Rodrygo combined to break the deadlock in the 33rd minute. This was Rodrygo&#8217;s second effort in three La Liga games, and first at Estadio Santiago Bernab\u00e9u this season. In fact, the Sevilla goal a fortnight ago was his first of the campaign. And then, like London buses, Rodrygo &#8212; who&#8217;ll likely retain his spot when Pep Guardiola&#8217;s side visits in a few days&#8217; time &#8212; effectively put the game out of sight minutes before half-time which follows a pattern. Real have now scored 11 goals in the last 15 minutes of the first half, only Villarreal (13) produced more in the Spanish top division this season.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b data-stringify-type=\"bold\"><a class=\"c-link\" tabindex=\"-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/football-tips\/la-liga\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-stringify-link=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/football-tips\/la-liga\/\" data-sk=\"tooltip_parent\" data-remove-tab-index=\"true\">La Liga tips &amp; predictions<\/a><\/b><span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Marco Asensio completed the rout after the break and by doing so netted his 10th of the season. The first time he&#8217;s managed to reach double figures in a single La Liga campaign. By celebrating this unparalleled success, Real have wrapped up the competition with four games to spare, which is something they last did in 1990. There were also emotional scenes in the dugout. Having been re-appointed last summer Ancelotti has finally lifted Spain&#8217;s biggest footballing prize which goes nicely alongside his Premier League, Serie A, Ligue 1 and Bundesliga winners medals. The revered Italian tactician subsequently becomes the first manager to win each of Europe&#8217;s &#8216;big five&#8217; championships.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b data-stringify-type=\"bold\"><a class=\"c-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/champions-league-outright-odds-21-22\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-stringify-link=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/champions-league-outright-odds-21-22\/\" data-sk=\"tooltip_parent\">Champions League outright odds<\/a><\/b><span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Regarding the native of Reggiolo it&#8217;s quality over quantity as this also happens to be his fifth league title secured in a managerial career spanning nearly three decades. It&#8217;s also a triumph over speculation as many observers had the former Napoli and Everton boss down as a goner following a tough period earlier in this campaign. Possessing the most-feared marksman in Europe at your disposal goes a long way to help.<\/p>\n<p>Karim Benzema, who began on the bench, is operating on an otherworldly level. His performances in the European Cup aside the French striker is running away with the Pichichi Trophy, today saw him register his 26th goal currently placing him 11 clear of the league&#8217;s next best. It&#8217;s not only scoring where Benzema has been effective, he&#8217;s created no fewer than 11 goals, which puts him firmly in the hunt to be crowned La Liga&#8217;s &#8216;assist king&#8217; this season.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><strong>888sport betting offer: How to get \u00a330 in free bets (+\u00a310 casino bonus)<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Eligible readers interested in the 888sport betting offer can follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/go\/888-sports?q=uk-all-con-bag-s\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>THIS LINK<\/strong><\/a> or click the image below and sign up using the code <strong>30FB<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/go\/888-sports?q=uk-all-cso-bag-s\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1253644 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2022\/03\/23172528\/1253630_888sport-30-in-free-bets.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1431\" height=\"687\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2022\/03\/23172528\/1253630_888sport-30-in-free-bets.jpg 1431w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2022\/03\/23172528\/1253630_888sport-30-in-free-bets-300x144.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2022\/03\/23172528\/1253630_888sport-30-in-free-bets-1024x492.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2022\/03\/23172528\/1253630_888sport-30-in-free-bets-768x369.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2022\/03\/23172528\/1253630_888sport-30-in-free-bets-110x53.jpg 110w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2022\/03\/23172528\/1253630_888sport-30-in-free-bets-146x70.jpg 146w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2022\/03\/23172528\/1253630_888sport-30-in-free-bets-66x32.jpg 66w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2022\/03\/23172528\/1253630_888sport-30-in-free-bets-80x38.jpg 80w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2022\/03\/23172528\/1253630_888sport-30-in-free-bets-180x86.jpg 180w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2022\/03\/23172528\/1253630_888sport-30-in-free-bets-380x182.jpg 380w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2022\/03\/23172528\/1253630_888sport-30-in-free-bets-1200x576.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2022\/03\/23172528\/1253630_888sport-30-in-free-bets-240x115.jpg 240w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2022\/03\/23172528\/1253630_888sport-30-in-free-bets-1100x528.jpg 1100w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2022\/03\/23172528\/1253630_888sport-30-in-free-bets-85x41.jpg 85w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2022\/03\/23172528\/1253630_888sport-30-in-free-bets-42x20.jpg 42w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2022\/03\/23172528\/1253630_888sport-30-in-free-bets-330x158.jpg 330w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1431px) 100vw, 1431px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Min deposit \u00a3\/\u20ac\/$10 \u2022 A qualifying bet is a \u2018real money\u2019 stake of at least \u00a3\/\u20ac\/$10 \u2022 Min odds 1\/2 (1.50) \u2022 Free Bets credited upon qualifying bet settlement and expire after 7 days \u2022 Free Bet stakes not included in returns \u2022 Casino Bonus must be claimed within 7 days \u2022 To withdraw bonus\/related wins, wager the bonus amount 40 times within 14 days \u2022 Casino Bonus expires after 60 days \u2022 Withdrawal restrictions, payment methods, country &amp; <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.888sport.com\/spt\/betgetpl60\/?utm_campaign=100066364_1859428_nodescription&amp;utm_content=100066364&amp;utm_medium=casap&amp;utm_source=aff#fullTerms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener sponsored\">full T&amp;Cs apply<\/a><\/strong>. 18+ only. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gambleaware.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Be Gamble Aware<\/a><\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>The old adage: defence wins championships applies here too.
