Standup9ja: Ronaldo, Benzema hand Real league title
Cristiano Ronaldo scored inside two minutes as Zinedine
Zidane’s team coasted to the trophy that has eluded them for the last five
years. Ronaldo loves the last day of the season. He came into the game with a
record of 11 goals in his last nine final matches of campaigns and it wasn’t
long before he added to that record.
Isco threaded a pass through the gap left between Malaga’s
two centre-backs and Ronaldo ran on to it, rounding Carlos Kameni before
scoring his 15th league goal in his last 15 league games The attempt to time
his physical peak for the most important part of the campaign has worked
perfectly. It was also his 40th Real goal of the season.
Madrid only needed a draw but they were never likely to
settle for that. Ronaldo’s goal means they have scored in every game of the
season for the first time in their 115 year history.
At the Nou Camp the goal news came through before some fans
had taken their seats. Luis Enrique, taking charge of his last league game and
his last match at the stadium, appeared to share a joke with his number two
Carles Unzue. They were perhaps relieved at the early arrival of the killer news
from Malaga - nothing worse than false hope on the final day.
Things got worse for Barcelona when Eibar took at shock lead
through Takashi Inui and the Barcelona heads were down. One ‘Barca man’ who had
not given up was Malaga striker Sandro Ramirez.
