Carlo Ancelotti has become the most successful manager in Real Madrid history after his side eased past Pachuca in the inaugural FIFA Intercontinental Cup final. The Italian moved clear of the legendary Miguel Munoz with the 15th major trophy triumph of his two spells in charge as Los Blancos easily defeated Mexican opposition 3-0 at the Lusail Stadium in Qatar on Wednesday night.

Kylian Mbappe opened the scoring on his return from injury with Madrid’s first shot on target late in the first half, tapping home Vinicius Jr’s assist from close range after a flowing attacking move also involving Jude Bellingham. That lead was doubled after the break after Rodrygo’s fine strike that stood after a lengthy check for offside against Bellingham, who was deemed not to have interfered with play.

Vinicius Jr then celebrated being named as The FIFA Best Men’s Player of the Year this week by dispatching a late penalty to set the seal on Madrid’s fifth major trophy win of 2024, following the Spanish Super Cup, LaLiga, Champions League and Uefa Super Cup.
