Real Madrid set for title celebrations

After four years living in the shadow of bitter rivals Barcelona, when only a King’s Cup was added to the trophy cabinet, many of them will also be celebrating the imminent departure of Barca coach Pep Guardiola, who announced on Friday he was stepping down at the end of the season. Guardiola has been a hugely irritating thorn in Real’s side since taking over in 2008, leading Barca to 13 trophies including two Champions Leagues and three successive La Liga titles. However, the arrival of the combative Mourinho from Inter Milan in 2010 is finally starting to bear fruit.
