Liverpool FC presented at the start of the 34th matchday in the championship fight in the Premier League.
Coach Jürgen Klopp's team won 1-0 (1-0) at Newcastle United on Saturday.
The only goal of the game was scored by former RB Leipzig professional Naby Keita in the 19th minute.
With their twelfth win in the last 13 league games, Liverpool (82 points) initially took the lead in the English football championship with a two-point lead over defending champions Manchester City.
Coach Pep Guardiol's team can, however, top up in the early evening when the Citizens play against Leeds United, who are in danger of relegation.
Liverpool coach Klopp extended his contract with the Reds early on Thursday until June 30, 2026.
Ancelotti's complete collection of titles
Meanwhile, Real Madrid is already Spanish football champions for the 35th time.
The royals secured the title with a 4-0 (2-0) win over Espanyol Barcelona four games before the end of the season.
The pursuers FC Sevilla and FC Barcelona can no longer catch up with the record champions in the final sprint.
With two goals in the 33rd and 43rd minutes, the Brazilian Rodrygo set the course for the hosts before the break.
Marco Asensio (55th) and Karim Benzema (81st) made everything clear.
The hosts could even afford to rest their top stars Benzema and Toni Kroos on the bench for an hour.
Real coach Carlo Ancelotti thus completed his collection of titles in the five major European leagues.
After championships in Italy with AC Milan, England with Chelsea, France with Paris Saint-Germain and Germany with Bayern Munich, the 62-year-old has now also won Spain's league.
During his first tenure at Real Madrid from 2013 to 2015, he was denied the championship title.
The next goal for Real is to win the Champions League again.
After the 3: 4 in the semi-final first leg at Manchester City, the record winner wants to make it into the final in the second leg on Wednesday (9 p.m. / in the FAZ live ticker for the Champions League and on DAZN).
Ancelotti had already described the championship title as an additional motivation.
"If we manage to win the title on Saturday, we will of course celebrate," said the Italian.
"I think that would help us for the game against Manchester City."
