Spain: Real Madrid are La Liga champions

-

Real Madrid are La Liga champions once again. 

They wrapped up the title by defeating Cadiz 3-0 at the Bernabeu before they watched Barcelona lose 4-2 at Girona.

Real Madrid fans celebrate another title - 1

Ultimately, this has been an impressively dominant campaign for Carlo Ancelotti's men. They have lost just once all season, at local rivals Atletico Madrid in September, and are also unbeaten in their last 28 league games.

Against Cadiz, Brahim Diaz starred for Real Madrid. The former Manchester City winger scored an impressive goal by firing into the top corner from just inside the box in the 51st minute. S few minutes later, Jude Bellingham doubled Real's lead by ghosting into the box and poking home from close range. 

Joselu then sealed a comfortable victory in added time with a tap-in. Nacho raced through into the box and squared the ball for his teammate to finish with ease. Another excellent performance. When the match finished, they were only a few hours away from being champions officially.

You can watch their most recent by watching the video below. The footage is from the La Liga EA Sports YouTube account.

The impact of Jude Bellingham 

Hey Jude! The former Birmingham City midfielder scored on his Real Madrid debut, netted a late winner on his home debut. He scored an injury-time winner in El Clasicos on two occasions and he is the undoubted La Liga player of this campaign. 

Joseph, a Real Madrid fan, told us: "Bellingham has been amazing for us. I knew he was a good player when he signed for us. Just didn't realise he was this good. I am looking forward to seeing how his career develops with Real Madrid."

You'd have to wonder if he could finish the season as a double European champion for club and country.

What's happened to Barcelona?

Barca's defeat to Girona probably summed up their season. Despite their opposition performing well, this was a match they should have won. They certainly have a big summer on their hands if they are to reach the summit of Spanish and European football again in the near future. 

The win for Girona means they have qualified for the Champions League. Despite criticism of their ownership model (they are part of the City Football Group) almost everyone would argue that they deserve for this due to the way they play.

There has been a managerial change at Old Trafford. Manchester United have sacked manager Erik ten Hag due to the club's disappointing start to the season. Author - Olivia T Ten Hag's last match ended in a 2-1 defeat against West Ham , leaving the club in 14th place in the Premier League with only three wins from their first nine matches. The Red Devils are also 21st of 36 teams in the Europa League league stage, having drawn their three opening matches. Club sources from the club have reportedly suggested that this was a difficult decision but a unanimous one among all the key decision makers.  The club exercised a one-year extension in Ten Hag's contract after their FA Cup final win against Manchester City in May . However, just over three months later, he has been dismissed. United currently sit on 11 points after nine games, marking their second-lowest tally in the Premier League at this stage (only slightly better than the 10 points they had in the 2019-20 season)

Manchester United 5 - 2 Leicester City  Ruud van Nistelrooy began his tenure as Manchester United’s interim manager on a high, with his team cruising past Leicester to secure a spot in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals. Author - Olivia T Just two days after stepping in following Erik ten Hag's dismissal , Van Nistelrooy’s call for an exciting performance was more than delivered by his players. Casemiro got the party started with a stunning long-range strike and went on to score again before half-time. After an initial header rattled off both posts, the Brazilian reacted quickly to slot the ball in from eight yards out. Alejandro Garnacho contributed his fifth goal of the season , and captain Bruno Fernandes had a bit of luck with his free-kick, which deflected off Leicester’s James Justin and into the net. Defensively, United weren’t flawless. Some familiar issues allowed Bilal El Khannouss and Conor Coady to pull goals back for Leicester before the break. Coady’s finish, a firs
