Carlo Ancelotti really did come to Real Madrid’s rescue. He came at a time when:

• Ramos and Varane left
• Added only Alaba and Camavinga to the squad
• Struggled with injuries among key players

But still he managed to get Real Madrid :

• Top of the league
• 8 points clear at the top
• 17 points clear from Atletico
• 18 points clear from Barcelona
• Topped CL group stage
