Real Madrid have been crowned Champions of the 2023/24 LaLiga season following Barcelona’s 4-2 loss to Girona, MySportDab reports.
It was the day of reckoning for the two Spanish giants as the LaLiga entered gameweek 34 with Real Madrid closing in on winning the Spanish topflight.
The Los Blancos went into matchday 34 clash against Cadiz with 84 points, 10 points clear of close challengers Barcelona in second place.
With four matches left to wrap up the season, the Los Blancos needed a win against Cadiz but banked on Girona to defeat Barcelona to win the title.
Conversely, Barcelona were apparently poised to delay the Los Blancos’ title celebrations by defeating Girona at the MFH Stadium.
The Los Blancos kicked off proceedings against Cadiz in the early kickoff and aced to a deserved 3-0 victory.
After a barren first-half draw, Ruben Diaz opened the scoring for the Los Blancos in the 51st minute. Eight minutes after the hour mark, Jude Bellingham scored a stunner for the home side to double the lead.
Late in the game, Joselu sealed the victory with a stoppage-time strike to fire the hosts past the visitors by three unreplied goals.
The win saw Real Madrid open an astonishing 13-point gap on top of the table with Barcelona under pressure to defeat Girona and delay the celebrations.
It turned out to be another disappointing outing for the Xavi-led side as the team stumbled to a 4-2 defeat against Girona to finally bow out of the race, handing it on a platter to Real Madrid.
It was a promising first half for the visitors as they went into the break with a 2-1 lead before three unreplied goals by the home side in the second half flipped the game in the hosts’ favor.
Real Madrid have now won the title with four games to spare and will be eyeing a double this season with the Champions League trophy in sight.
