Real Madrid: Carlo Ancelotti pulled classic prank on Karim Benzema

Real Madrid are La Liga champions for the 35th time.

Carlo Ancelotti‘s side mathematically secured Spanish football’s biggest prize last Saturday with a 4-0 home win over Espanyol.

A brace from Rodrygo Goes in the first half and strikes from Marco Asensio and Karim Benzema after the restart earned Los Blancos the points they required.

It was yet another convincing performance by them and they were also able to rest key players ahead of their Champions League semi-final second leg versus Manchester City.

But despite the fact they will be playing the biggest game of their 2021/22 season on Wednesday, Real Madrid still celebrated their La Liga triumph in style.

The players and staff performed a lap of honour around the Santiago Bernabeu on an open-top bus, with thousands of fans flocking to the stadium in order to get a glimpse of their heroes.

And during the celebrations, Ancelotti decided to pull a classic prank on the team’s talisman Benzema.
