Ronaldo And Real Madrid Set Two Incredible Records During La Liga Title Victory

Ronaldo And Real Madrid Set Two Incredible Records During La Liga Title Victory

Los Blancos were practically unstoppable in La Liga, this season

After five years spent playing second fiddle to Barcelona and breaking Atletico Madrid hearts in Champions League finals, Real Madrid are La Liga champions again and Zinedine Zidane's team secured Los Blancos' 33rd Spanish title while also breaking a couple of records, for good measure.

Real reclaimed La Liga for the first time since 2012 with a 2-0 victory away to Malaga, meaning Barcelona's efforts in a 4-2 home victory over Eibar were for naught.

While a comfortable win over Malaga was expected ahead of time and certainly isn't that impressive a result on paper, given how Real were overwhelming favourites heading into the encounter, the two records set last night, one by Cristiano Ronaldo and one by the team as a collective, highlight just how ruthlessly Zidane his this team operating.

Ronaldo and Karim Benzema's goals last night mean Real have scored in every La Liga game in a season for the first time in their history. In fact, should Los Blancos breach Juventus' watertight rearguard during the Champions League final in just under two weeks time, they'll have scored in every match this season in all competitions.



Ronaldo and Benzema's goals were also Real's 57th and 58th away goals of the 2016/17 campaign, the Bernabeu club's highest ever total for a single league season.



And it wouldn't have been a completely dominant season for the club from the Spanish capital if goal scoring phenom Ronaldo hadn't set his own record, either.

The Portugal captain's opening goal against Malaga means he's now the first ever Los Blancos player to score 40+ goals in seven consecutive seasons.



In two weeks time, however, Zidane's troops will have to find a way past Giorgio Chiellini, Leonardo Bonucci and Gianluigi Buffon, something only two players - Lyon's Corentin Tolisso and Monaco's Kylian Mbappe, have done this season in the Champions League.
