Vinicius Jr’s speech interrupted by “Vini Ballon d’or” chants in Madrid’s La Liga trophy parade following their title win last week.

 

Real Madrid sealed a record-extending 36th La-Liga title on Saturday after rival Barcelona suffered a second-half collapse against Girona.

Xavi’s men succumbing to a 4-2 defeat ensured that Los Blancos cannot be overtaken at the top of the table.

Real had secured a 3-0 victory over Cádiz earlier in the day, leaving Barcelona with a must-win clash to keep the title race mathematically alive with four games of the season remaining.

It would have taken a monumental capitulation from Madrid for Barcelona to have any chance of winning the title this season.

They blew a chance to kick start any such capitulation when they took on Madrid a fourthnight ago. Barcelona could have cut a then 8 points deficit to 5 in the final El Clasico of the season.

They however lost the game, albeit in a sea of controversy, to a late Jude Bellingham winner in a 3-2 loss.

All Barcelona had to do to at least delay Madrid getting their hands on the title and keep their slim hopes alive was win.

They opened the scoring through Christensen in the third minute as they looked to keep their slim title hopes alive.

Team of the season Nominee Artem Dovbyk equalized just a minute later, before Lewandowski restored their lead.

Girona responded in a flurry with three second half goals in a brilliant 9 minute spell to defeat Xavi’s men.

Maybe the race for the next Ballon d’or winner is already over but with a winner all but announced, Madrid fans already know who they want to see win it.

It will not be wise to bet against it with Madrid winning the La Liga and already in the Champion’s League final.
