Real Madrid crowned as Liga Santander champions in Spain

MADRID, May 21 (Xinhua) -- Real Madrid were crowned as the Champions of the Spanish Liga Santander title on Sunday night.

Zinedine's side won 2-0 in Malaga thanks to goals from Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema in the 2nd and 55th minutes of the game which they only needed to avoid defeat to claim their first league title since 2012.

Meanwhile FC Barcelona, who needed to win at home to Eibar and hope that Madrid lost in the La Rosaleda Stadium, fulfilled their part of the bargain with a 4-2 victory in which Leo Messi scored two goals.

Real Madrid end the season with 93 points while Barca end with 90 after the 38 game season.
