The Zinedine Zidane’s men have won their first La Liga title in three years with a game to spare as they edged past Villarreal at an empty Alfredo Di Stefano Stadium this evening giving the both fans, players and managers in happy mood.
Striker Karim Benzema fired between the legs of Sergio Asenjo and added a controversial second from a retaken penalty after Sergio Ramos had rolled the first attempt for Benzema to smash in but the effort was not allowed. Later on, Vicente Iborra pulled one back but it mattered little to Real as the club wrapped up their 34th Spanish title. Real Madrid have won all 10 of their matches since Spanish football restarted in June. The Los Blancos head into the final day of the season with an unassailable seven-point lead over second-placed Barcelona.
