Real Madrid on Thursday night won their first LaLiga title in three years with a game to spare as they edged past Villarreal at an empty Alfredo Di Stefano Stadium.
Karim Benzema fired between the legs of Sergio Asenjo and added a controversial second from a retaken penalty.
In bizarre fashion, Sergio Ramos had rolled the first attempt for Benzema to smash in but the effort was disallowed.
Substitute Vicente Iborra scored a powerful header late on (86) for the visitors and Marco Asensio had a goal chalked off by VAR in injury-time, but Real still emerged title winners as second-placed Barcelona lost 2-1 to 10-man Osasuna.
Zinedine Zidane’s side have won all 10 of their matches since Spanish football restarted in June.
Real Madrid head into the final day of LaLiga season with an a commanding 7 points lead over second-placed Barcelona who lost at home to Osasuna.
