Ronaldo fires Real to Spanish league title
Barcelona fought back from two goals down to beat Eibar 4-2 but the result could not stop Real from lifting the trophy
Real Madrid ended a five-year wait to win La Liga on Sunday as Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema secured a 2-0 win at Malaga which clinched a 33rd league triumph. Barcelona fought back from two goals down to beat Eibar 4-2 but the result could not stop Real from lifting the trophy. Real finished the campaign on 93 points, three clear of last year's champions Barca. Zinedine Zidane's men only needed a draw to wrap up the title in their final game of the season and raced into the lead when Ronaldo latched onto a through ball from Isco to round Carlos Kameni. That goal ensured Real scored in every league game this season.
