Real Madrid moved to within a point of securing the league title after Cristiano Ronaldo inspired a 4-1 win at Celta Vigo.

Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice in Wednesday's 4-1 win over Celta Vigo as the in-form Real Madrid talisman fittingly took Zinedine Zidane's men to within a point of the league title.

Madrid went into the match knowing that four points from their final two LaLiga games would guarantee them the crown regardless of Barcelona's efforts and they successfully passed their first test in an expert manner in Galicia.

It proved to be a strong start by the visitors and they found themselves ahead early on thanks to their Portuguese superstar, who scored his 370th and 371st career league goals to overtake Jimmy Greaves as the most prolific player to grace Europe's top five domestic divisions, 368 of those coming in Spain and England.
