Carlo Ancelotti managed his last Clásico as Real Madrid coach at Montjuïc, the 20th against FC Barcelona. And he did so losing his fourth Clásico of the season (4-3) and leaving surprising data that will forever mark his record against the eternal rival.
With this defeat, Real Madrid became Barça's favorite victim this season, losing two finals: the Spanish Super Cup (2-5) and the Copa del Rey (3-2) and, although it's not yet mathematically certain, a LaLiga with a 0-4 at the Bernabéu included.
In fact, the superiority of the culé team has been so exaggerated that, along with the 3 titles, it has also left us with a huge footballing distance, incredible numbers and a few historical records. We review them:
