Real Madrid Wins La Liga Title for Record 34th Time

Real Madrid reigns in Spain again.

Zinedine Zidane's side put the finishing touches on the club's 34th Spanish league title, beating Villarreal 2-1 on Thursday to move mathematically clear of Barcelona with one game left to play this season. The title extends Real Madrid's all-time Spanish record and is its first since the 2016-17 season.

Real Madrid won the title by being perfect after La Liga's restart. The club has won all 10 of its games since play resumed following the pandemic-induced shutdown, while Barcelona dropped points in three draws and a loss along the way, allowing Real Madrid to make up a small deficit and claim first place to deny its rival of a three-peat.
