"Girona secured a remarkable 4-2 victory over their Catalan rivals Barcelona, thereby helping Real Madrid claim their 36th Spanish league title."

Real Madrid secured a "deserved" La Liga title under coach Carlo Ancelotti's leadership after a convincing 3-0 victory against Cadiz, while Girona's stunning 4-2 win over Barcelona sealed the title for Los Blancos.

Ancelotti's side did their homework by defeating Cadiz, and Barcelona's stumble against Girona resulted in Madrid being crowned champions for a record-extending 36th time on Saturday.

Girona's dramatic victory saw the Catalan minnows qualify for the Champions League for the first time in their history, marking a significant achievement in only their fourth season in Spain’s top flight.

Despite heavy rotation ahead of the Champions League semi-final second-leg clash with Bayern Munich next week, Ancelotti's players still got the job done.

Brahim Diaz opened the scoring in the 51st minute to put Madrid ahead and then set up Jude Bellingham, with Joselu tapping home a third.

"We’ve had a spectacular Liga campaign," Ancelotti told reporters. "We’ve made few errors and the advantage is deserved."

Madrid's comfortable win over Cadiz sent them 14 points clear of last season’s champions Barcelona, who are in third place, with only 12 points left to play for.

Girona, in second place after securing their second 4-2 win over Barcelona this season, trail Madrid by 13 points.

"We leave our skins out there on the pitch to live moments like today’s," Madrid striker Joselu told Real Madrid TV. "There are young players who are very hungry for titles, veterans who are delighted to be here... and these are special moments."

Los Blancos were able to celebrate after Girona came from behind twice to defeat Barcelona in a wild clash, moving them into second place.

Barcelona took the lead through Andreas Christensen's fine volley after three minutes, but La Liga's top scorer Artem Dovbyk levelled with his 20th goal of the campaign just a minute later.

Robert Lewandowski sent Barcelona ahead with a penalty after Lamine Yamal was fouled, but substitute Portu made a huge impact in the second half for Girona.

Michel Sanchez's side scored two goals in two minutes to turn the game on its head. Portu equalised moments after coming on and then set up Miguel Gutierrez to put Girona ahead.

Portu sensationally volleyed home the fourth to ignite Girona’s tiny Montilivi stadium and get the party started.

"The players have entered Girona’s history books; what we’ve done this year is incredible," said Sanchez.

Girona even played Champions League music over the stadium sound system to give their fans a taste of things to come.

"I want to play against Liverpool, I want a historic giant here, there are many, Bayern Munich, AC Milan, Inter," said Sanchez.

"It’s incredible to look at your shirt and experience this. There is nothing more beautiful than living this," an emotional Portu told DAZN with tears rolling down his face.

"I had a thorn in my side with this club. A few years ago, I experienced the other side, which was relegation and I felt very responsible because I played a lot. Today I made amends with the fans and I can smile again."

For Barcelona, who finished third, the summer will be a time for self-reflection rather than dreams.

"It’s a shame, we collapse with any negative situation," said Barcelona coach Xavi after losing their crown. "Like this, it’s impossible to compete."
