Real Madrid has become champion of Spain for the 36th time in history. Carlo Ancelotti’s team won 3-0 against Cadiz and then saw Girona defeat FC Barcelona (4-2), making the national title a fact.
Real takes over the title from the Catalans, who had no chance of winning the title this year. With four games to go, the Royal team has 14 points more than Barcelona, which, due to the defeat at Girona, now has to leave Daley Blind’s team ahead for the time being. In the second half, Girona quickly erased a 2-1 deficit and gave Real the title. Barcelona also lost 4-2 to Girona at home. The victory ensures Girona of a ticket for the Champions League, which was celebrated exuberantly (with specially designed T-shirts). It is only the first time in the club’s history that they have qualified for the champions’ ball.

Real vizier op Champions League
Real, where Courtois made his return after serious knee injuries, did not play with the strongest team against Cadiz. The club hopes to qualify for the final of the Champions League on Wednesday at the expense of Bayern Munich. The first game in Germany ended 2-2.
Brahim Díaz opened the score shortly after halftime, assisted by Luka Modric. The second goal came from Jude Bellingham, who came into the team halfway through the second half and scored shortly afterwards. For Bellingham it was his eighteenth goal in the competition this season. Only Artem Dovbyk from Girona was more accurate with nineteen goals.
The 20-year-old Bellingham is the first player under the age of 21 to score at least eighteen times in La Liga since Sergio Agüero in the 2007/2008 season for Atlético Madrid. In injury time, Joselu set the final score at 3-0. Goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois made his return to the starting line-up at Real Madrid after a long injury period.
Atlético wins against Mallorca by the smallest margin
Thanks to a goal in the fifth minute from Rodrigo Riquelme, Atlético Madrid took the three points on the field of Mallorca. Axel Witsel played the entire match, Arthur Vermeeren stayed on the bench for ninety minutes.
