Real Madrid secured the La Liga title with a commanding 3-0 victory over Cadiz, followed by Girona’s dramatic 4-2 win against last season’s champions, Barcelona.

Under the leadership of Carlo Ancelotti, Real Madrid displayed their dominance against Cadiz, virtually sealing their 36th Spanish title. Brahim Diaz’s goal in the 51st minute set the tone, with Jude Bellingham and Joselu adding to Madrid’s lead.

Speaking after the match, Joselu expressed the team’s satisfaction, emphasizing their collective effort and hunger for success. Meanwhile, Girona’s remarkable win not only secured their first-ever Champions League qualification but also contributed to Madrid’s triumph.

Ancelotti’s strategic squad rotation ahead of the Champions League semi-final saw veteran goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois return to action, backed by a solid defensive performance led by captain Nacho Fernandez. Luka Modric also made history as the oldest player to feature for Madrid in La Liga.

Despite a slow start, Madrid’s second-half dominance, coupled with Courtois’ heroics, ensured victory. Diaz’s clinical finish, followed by Bellingham’s goal, put Madrid in control, with Joselu sealing the win in stoppage time.

Girona’s stunning comeback against Barcelona further solidified Madrid’s title triumph. Barcelona’s early lead was erased by Girona’s resilience, with Portu playing a pivotal role in their historic victory.

With the La Liga title secured, Real Madrid’s triumph marked a significant milestone in their storied history, reaffirming their status as one of Europe’s football powerhouses.
