Real Madrid went into the game with a 7-point advantage over Barcelona, needing the three points on offer to claim the Primera Division title.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristiano-Ronaldo-c9629 missed from the spot in the opening exchanges, only his second failure in his three seasons in a white shirt. However, teammate Gonzalo Higuain would not be denied that easily as he started the proceedings for Los Blancos.
Higuain was quickly followed by Mesut Ozil to give the visiting side a two-goal cushion within the space of twenty minutes. After the interval, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ronaldo-c31734 made up for his mistake and comfortably headed home from a corner in the 50th minute.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Iker-Casillas-c16815 was understandably in a joyous mood and claimed that the players can finally celebrate after a tiring season.
Casillas admitted that going out against Bayern Munich still hurts the players, but they only thing that is on their minds right now is to celebrate their title success.
He added that Madrid have moved from the shadows of Barcelona and are targeting Champions League glory in the next season. The Real Madrid captain then went on to dedicate their title triumph to Madridista, who have been with the team through thick and thin.
"It has been a long and hard season, but it's time to celebrate now. We have made another step forward compared to last term. The next objective is the Champions League. We want to win that next season," Casillas commented.
"I dedicate this title to all the Madridista who dreamed of winning the Liga. It was very difficult to beat a team like http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604, but we have done it. Our Champions League exit still hurts, but we want to enjoy this success now."
It is Real Madrid’s 32nd league title and their first since 2007/08, when they wrapped up the championship with a 7-point advantage over 2nd placed Villarreal.
