Spanish giants Real Madrid beat Villarreal on Thursday to lift their 34th La Liga title, pipping Barcelona to the finish line with a game to spare.

  1. Real Madrid’s official Twitter handle tweeted a video of Toni Kroos speaking with the club on returning to training. Kroos, as always being witty with his words, responded comically. The Germany international questioned the need for a subtitle in Spanish despite the fact that he was speaking in the same language.
  2. A rundown of the best tweets from Real Madrid's scintillating victory over Atletico Madrid. Atletico Madrid suffered their first loss of the La Liga season against their arch-rivals Real Madrid.
  3. Liverpool will face Real Madrid in the Champions League quarter-final second-leg at Anfield on Wednesday. The Reds lost 3-1 in the first leg in Madrid, and they need a near-perfect performance to book a place in the semi-final of the competition.

Once again, French striker Karim Benzema was the star of the show, netting a brace to power his team to victory. Few expected coach Zinedine Zidane to leave Real Madrid and even fewer expected him to come back as coach.

Real Madrid said on Tuesday they were investigating an incident which led to their official Twitter account and website sending out a false medical report declaring Brazilian forward Rodrygo had.

And yet almost 500 days later, he has won the La Liga title, without fuss, without even the improvements he was promised. On Thursday, in an empty Alfredo di Stefano Stadium at Real Madrid’s training ground, he hoisted another trophy, his second in La Liga and 11th overall as coach.

Zidane currently wins a trophy every 19 games on average and while three Champions League titles out of three was historic, this might be his most impressive yet. The three-time Fifa World Player of Year-winner rated this win as one of his finest achievements. Madrid also recorded their first win since the legendary Cristiano Ronaldo’s exit from the club.

We have been treated to some incredible Champions League upsets over the past few seasons, but on Tuesday night the super clubs finally got one over the little guys.

Manchester City and Real Madrid both progressed, as expected, past Borussia Monchengladbach and Atalanta with 2-0 and 3-1 win respectively. Although the results were predictable, there was still lots of fun to be found in both games.

Things got off to a rip-roaring start when City put any notions of an upset to bed with two quickfire goals. The first came after just 12 minutes and what a strike it was. Latching onto a pass from Riyad Mahrez, Kevin de Bruyne unleashed an unstoppable, 'weak foot' drive past Yann Sommer. The ball clipped the bar as it went in as well, adding even more style points.

City's second goal wasn't half bad either. Coming just six minutes after the opener, Phil Foden broke free in midfield and played a delicious through ball to Ilkay Gundogan. The German made no mistake with the finish, doubling his side's lead and all but confirming their place in the quarter finals.

Following City's flying start, most people's attentions turned to Madrid.

After Atalanta's Robin Gosens missed a golden opportunity early on, Real were gifted a goal just after the half hour mark. Marco Sportiello passed the ball straight down the throat of Luka Modric who then rolled it for Karim Benzema to convert.

After the break, the visitors somehow managed to play even worse. First Vinicius Junior failed to finish his fine solo run. Minutes later the Brazilian would redeem himself by winning a penalty.

Sergio Ramos converted from 12 yards because, well, that's just what he does isn't it?

Atalanta did at least manage to pull one back when Luis Muriel bent a free kick over the wall and past Thibaut Courtois.

Seconds later though, Real restored their two goal advantage. Oh dear.

Ah, but what about the second half of the Manchester City game we hear you ask. Well, not a lot happened to be honest.

The Cityzens now turn their attentions to which team will have the pleasure of knocking them out in the quarter finals this year...
