Real Madrid are the 2024 LaLiga Champions
Real Madrid has been crowned the champions of the 2023/24 LaLiga season after Girona beat Barcelona at home.
Real Madrid had to win and wait for the Catalan derby if they wanted to be called champions. They did their job beating Cadiz 3-0 at the Santiago Bernabéu. Now they had to wait a couple hours to find the result of the derby.
Girona beat Barcelona 4-2 and secured their Champions League spot next season and the LaLiga for Real Madrid. Now Barcelona has descended to the third place in the table and will officially go trophyless this season.
Madrid seat with a 13-point lead and with its 36th LaLiga title. However, celebrations have been postponed since the team preparations for this week’s UCL semifinals against Bayern. If they advance and win the finals it will seal them a magnificent double.
