Real Madrid clinched the La Liga championship on Saturday, seizing the title as Barcelona stumbled to a 4-2 defeat against Girona following Carlo Ancelotti’s team’s triumph over Cadiz.
Madrid secured a convincing 3-0 victory over Cadiz, with Brahim Diaz, Jude Bellingham, and Joselu all finding the back of the net.
This win positioned them to be crowned league champions if Barcelona failed to secure a win in their match against Girona.
Xavi’s squad initially appeared poised to thwart their rivals’ title celebrations as they twice took the lead in the game.
However, Girona rallied back on both occasions and ultimately secured a two-goal advantage to secure the victory.
With Real Madrid holding a commanding 13-point lead at the summit of La Liga and only four games remaining, neither Girona nor Barcelona have any chance of surpassing them.
The capital club has suffered just one defeat in La Liga this season, with summer acquisition Jude Bellingham notably shining throughout the campaign, tallying 18 goals and four assists.
His late winner in the recent Clasico against Barcelona provided a significant boost for Madrid.
By dethroning Barcelona and claiming the Spanish League crown, Madrid has now amassed an impressive 36 titles in their history.
They can elevate this season’s achievements even further by clinching a victory in the Champions League.
Despite their triumph, Madrid remains focused and grounded, understanding that there is still much work ahead.
They face Bayern Munich in the second leg of their Champions League semi-final, with the tie evenly poised at 2-2 from the first leg.
Therefore, their title celebrations will be tempered as they remain fully committed to their upcoming challenges.
