Real Madrid beat Mexican team Pachuca 3-0 in the Intercontinental Cup final Wednesday, making Carlo Ancelotti the most decorated coach in the club’s history.
Ancelotti lifted his 15th title with the Spanish powerhouse, surpassing the 14 trophies that he and Miguel Muñoz had won. Muñoz coached the team in the 1960s and 70s.
Kylian Mbappé, Rodrygo and Vinícius Júnior scored a goal each as Madrid became the most successful club in the competition with four titles. It also won in 1960, 1998 and 2002.
Pachuca has never won the tournament, which brings together the champions of all six soccer confederations.
The competition is being played in a new format after FIFA expanded the Club World Cup to 32 teams for 2025. Madrid won the annual Club World Cup five times; in 2014, 2016, 2017-18 and 2022.
Eleven of Ancelotti’s titles with Madrid have come in his second stint with the club, which began in 2021. Four of them, including a Champions League title, came during his time with Madrid from 2013-15.
