Real Madrid Lifts Their 35th Laliga Title in style

Real Madrid finally got their hands on the 35th La Liga Championship title after defeating contenders Espanyol 4-0 on Saturday, April 30. In a poetic conclusion to this year's championship, the Vikings lifted the trophy at Santiago Bernabéu Stadium.

Captain Marcelo and Benzema lifted the trophy together as the team celebrated in jubilation. With this victory, Real Madrid has yet again sealed its fame for winning the La Liga the most number of times, while Barcelona- which trails the Vikings on the list, has won 26 times.

Throughout the ongoing edition of the tournament, Real Madrid seemed comfortable in its games and has won 25 of the 34th played games losing just 3 of them. The only game where the team looked a bit off-balance was against Barcelona where the Vikings missed out on the service of their key striker Karim Benzema. Playing for the team in white embodied with a royal crest, Benzema has amassed the most goals in the tournament so far. The Frenchman, scoring 26 goals, has also provided 11 assists to his teammates. Notably, Benzema also tops the assist standings.
