Real Madrid secured a well-deserved La Liga title on Saturday with a convincing 3-0 triumph over Cadiz, coupled with Girona’s stunning 4-2 victory over Barcelona.
Carlo Ancelotti’s side showcased their championship credentials by dispatching Cadiz, while Barcelona’s stumble against Girona ensured Los Blancos’ coronation as champions for a record-extending 36th time.
In a dramatic turn of events, Girona’s triumph not only dented Barcelona’s title hopes but also propelled the Catalan minnows into uncharted territory, as they clinched qualification for the Champions League for the first time in their history, marking a remarkable achievement in only their fourth season in La Liga.
Despite heavy rotation ahead of their Champions League semi-final clash with Bayern, Ancelotti’s squad rose to the occasion, with Brahim Diaz opening the scoring in the 51st minute. Diaz then turned provider for Jude Bellingham, before Joselu sealed the victory with a third goal.
Reflecting on their triumphant league campaign, Ancelotti expressed satisfaction with his team’s performance, stating, “We’ve had a spectacular Liga campaign. We’ve made few errors and the advantage is deserved.”
With the title secured, Real Madrid can now focus on their upcoming Champions League semi-final second-leg encounter with Bayern, buoyed by their domestic success and poised for further glory on the European stage.
