What you need to know:
- Real Madrid were beaten by Barcelona in all four encounters across all competitions this season.
- Ancelotti said his last season at the club would have been even better if Real had been in the title race until the final day.
Barcelona's La Liga title was well deserved as Hansi Flick's side played the game with consistency and beauty, Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti said ahead of Sunday's La Liga trip to 14th placed Sevilla.
With Barcelona beating Real to the La Liga title, Copa del Rey, and the Spanish Super Cup, Real, having been knocked out of the Champions League, only have the Club World Cup left to fight for in terms of silverware this year.
