With Barcelona beating Real to the LaLiga 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.

"This is part of football, sometimes you're not able to get the best out of everyone. Barcelona have done very well, because they've been more consistent in the league and played very beautiful football," Ancelotti told reporters.

"I congratulate them. They deserved to win this league. Next year will be a different story."

Real were beaten by Barcelona in all four encounters across all competitions in a season where Barca scored an astonishing 97 goals in 36 league matches, 23 more than Real.

Ancelotti, who is set to leave at the end of the season to coach five-time world champions Brazil, lamented the number of injuries his side had suffered.
