However, last year’s championships were unable to recover, putting them on the brink of a season without silverware.

"It's very important to win closer to the league title today. We're very happy."
Meanwhile, true manager Carlo Ancelotti will be under increased pressure amid the rumors, while former midfielder Xabi Alonso will replace him at the end of the season.
However, the born Italian coach was in a pragmatic mood, which was about the results and the team's performance.
"It's an even game, competitive and fighting until the last second," he told reporters.
"We could have scored for the equalizer, but that's it. It was a great game between two great teams, so I had nothing to blame for the attitude and commitment of my team. It didn't go well, but we played."
Alonso told reporters on Friday that he will leave Bayer Leverkusen's role as coach at the end of the season, and Ancelotti praised the former Spanish international player for saying "the door is open" to move him to a big club now.
