Real Madrid is set to receive the LaLiga trophy in a one-of-a-kind ceremony at the club’s Valdebebas training ground, according to ESPN sources. The Spanish football federation, responsible for the award, initially planned to present the trophy at Madrid’s next game at Granada’s stadium. However, Madrid opted for a private ceremony at home due to concerns about potentially sealing Granada’s relegation after the match.
Sources reveal that the trophy will be handed over to Madrid’s players, staff, and president Florentino Pérez in a closed event at Real Madrid City. The team will later share the trophy with fans and local authorities in undisclosed celebratory activities. Coach Carlo Ancelotti expressed the team’s focus on preparing for their upcoming games despite the recent league victory, emphasizing the need to remain focused.
Real Madrid secured their 36th LaLiga title after defeating Cádiz 3-0 and witnessing Barcelona’s loss to Girona. This victory marked Madrid’s fourth league win in the last decade and their second under coach Carlo Ancelotti in three seasons. The team’s dominance in the league has been evident with 27 wins, 6 draws, and only one loss, amassing a total of 87 points in 34 games.
In addition to their domestic success, Real Madrid is also vying for Champions League glory this season. They are set to host Bayern Munich in the semifinal second leg following a 2-2 draw in the first leg. Ancelotti acknowledged Bayern’s strong history in the competition but highlighted Madrid’s excitement and determination for the upcoming match. He emphasized the importance of respecting the opponent while remaining focused on delivering a strong performance.
The unique ceremony planned for Real Madrid’s LaLiga trophy presentation reflects the club’s desire to celebrate their achievement in a respectful and meaningful manner. By choosing to have a private event at their training ground, Madrid is prioritizing their values and ensuring a memorable experience for the team, staff, and fans alike. As they look ahead to their Champions League clash with Bayern Munich, Madrid remains focused and determined to continue their pursuit of success on the European stage.
