MADRID LIFT THE LA LIGA AFTER FIVE YEARS
Spanish soccer club Real Madrid have lifted the La Liga title after seeing off Malaga away on Sunday evening.
They went into the final round of game the same time their arch rivals Barcelona were playing. They had a three point cushion and they were expected to just add a gloss.
Rave of the moment Cristiano Ronaldo scored an early goal that buried the building pressure. Playmaker Isco was truly incredible in the game. Isco sent a well-timed through ball to the Portuguese in only the second minute for him to score. Ronaldo stylishly rounded off Carlos Kameni before sending the ball into the empty net. That was all for the first half.
KaremBenzema scored a rebound ten minutes after the break to seal the victory for the visitors. Real only needed a point to confirm the title. The La Liga cup returns to the Bernabeu after five years of wait. Since Jose Mourinho did it in 2012, Zinedine Zidane is the first man to bring the title back to Real Madrid.
Juventus also sealed their sixth Serie A title. Both giants are looking at doing a double. They are set to meet in Cardiff for the UEFA Champions League final. Zidane is looking to defend the title he won last season when he took over. If they defeat the Italian football side, they will be the first team to successfully defend the title.
Zidane was showered with praises in many quarters for the feat as Real were largely dominant all season. The squad moved away from the dependence on Ronaldo, Benzema and Bale, as the Team B developed.
“It was a lot of years without winning it and we knew that the league is everything. For Real Madrid, because it is the best club in the world, we have to return with this league title,” Zidane said.
