Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti sent his congratulations to La Liga champions Barcelona, and hopes his team are more of a threat next season.
Luis Enrique's Barca sealed the league title thanks to a 1-0 win at Atletico Madrid on Sunday.
Ancelotti's side beat Espanyol 4-1 on the same day, but the win meant nothing as they stayed four points behind Barca with just one league game remaining.
"First of all I want to congratulate Barcelona, to my colleague Luis Enrique," Ancelotti said.
"After that I have to say the balance is not positive because Real Madrid play always for winning but we couldn't do it.
"We have done a good first part of the season, the second one hasn't been good at all."
"As I have always said I like winning the most important title like the Champions [League] is," Ancelotti said.
"But it's obvious I would like to win La Liga. We have been close this year, we will try next season."
