As the Spanish champions, Real Madrid, prepared to lift their 36th league trophy, they kicked off their title celebrations in style with a commanding 4-0 win over Granada. Carlo Ancelotti's side, brimming with reserves, showcased their depth and dominance against the relegated Andalusians, setting the stage for a triumphant parade in the Spanish capital.

Brahim Diaz stole the spotlight with a brace, supported by goals from Fran Garcia and Arda Guler, as Madrid breezed past Granada. Despite facing Bayern Munich midweek in a tense Champions League encounter, Ancelotti opted for a squad rotation strategy, keeping key players fresh for the upcoming final.

Ancelotti emphasized the importance of ensuring every player is in prime condition for the final showdown in London, dismissing distractions such as speculation surrounding Kylian Mbappe's potential arrival from Paris Saint-Germain.

Granada, resigned to relegation, provided little resistance as Madrid dominated proceedings from start to finish. The symbolic guard of honor offered by Granada's players before kick-off marked Madrid's achievement, but it didn't deter the relentless determination of Ancelotti's men.

Diaz orchestrated Madrid's first goal, setting up Garcia with a precise pass before doubling the lead himself just before halftime. The young Turkish talent, Guler, capitalized on Garcia's assist to extend Madrid's advantage with a clinical finish.

In the second half, Diaz continued to torment Granada's defense, adding a third goal with a solo effort that showcased his skill and creativity. Morocco international Diaz completed his brace with a well-executed team move orchestrated by veteran playmaker Luka Modric.

Despite the comfortable victory, Ancelotti remained focused on fine-tuning his squad for the impending Champions League final against Borussia Dortmund. With three league fixtures remaining, Ancelotti plans to optimize his first-choice lineup while also providing opportunities for rest and rotation.

As the celebrations unfold, Madrid's faithful may savor these final moments of the season, perhaps witnessing the last appearances of stalwarts like Modric, whose contract expiration looms in the summer.
