A week after losing to Monaco 4-1, the Saint-Etienne defense will be again put to the test by Rennes, the second most prolific attack in the league. Napoli was battling with the Milan clubs for the Serie A but a run of two defeats and a draw has seen it slip seven points below league leader AC Milan. Napoli was leading 2-0 in its last game before three goals in the final 10 minutes saw Empoli win 3-2. Bielefeld is second to last and already four points behind Hertha, but it could potentially move above Stuttgart into the relegation playoff place if Stuttgart loses to Wolfsburg at the same time. Villarreal, which lost at Liverpool 2-0 in the first leg of the other Champions League semifinal, visits last-placed Alavés to try to stay close to the European qualification places. Hertha Berlin visits Arminia Bielefeld for a relegation duel with the home team desperate for a win to avoid joining already relegated Greuther Fürth in the second division. Third-placed Rennes hosts relegation-threatened Saint-Etienne in the league. Where can I watch it on TV? - Saturday’s match will start at 10:15 a.m. ET for viewers in the U.S. However, the match will not be broadcast on conventional TV channels for American audiences. Jesse Marsch’s Leeds is five points above third-from-bottom Everton. Burnley is just outside the relegation zone and will go for three wins in a row when it visits struggling Watford. Aston Villa hosts last-placed Norwich, Brighton is at Wolverhampton, and Southampton welcomes Crystal Palace. resting guys for Champions League matches later in the week. Thanks to its big lead, Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti may rest some regular starters ahead of next week’s second leg against Manchester City in the Champions League semifinals. Madrid lost the first leg 4-3. Real Madrid can clinch its second Liga title in three seasons with a home draw against Espanyol at Santiago Bernabéu Stadium. Madrid needs a point from its last five matches to secure a record-extending 35th league title.

Rodyrgo scored twice before Marco Asensio and Karim Benzema added the gloss to help Madrid secure the title.

The Brazilian added a second 10 minutes later with a fine finish in a dominant display at the Bernabéu. Needing only a draw to guarantee glory once more, it took 33 minutes for Rodrygo to open the scoring. Asensio’s strike allowed Carlo Ancelotti to rest players as they prepare for their Champions League semi-final second leg against Manchester City on Wednesday, before Benzema finished things off to leave Madrid uncatchable at the top.

Nevertheless, it’s been a title-winning season at home, in Saudi Arabia (where Madrid edged Barcelona in extra time in the semifinal and then beat Athletic Bilbao in the final for the Spanish Super Cup) and could be in Paris as well, if Ancelotti’s side can upend Pep Guardiola’s at the Bernabéu midweek to return to the Champions League final. There was the infamous Champions League group-stage home defeat to Moldova’s Sheriff Tiraspol in September, and it has lost three of its five knockout-stage matches en route to the second leg of the semifinals. As for other major decisions the club will face, Croatian great Luka Modrić is reportedly closing in on another one-year deal to stay put, while Gareth Bale, Isco and Marcelo are all on expiring contracts, too. Of its three league losses, one was a humiliating 4–0 home defeat to Barcelona in March’s edition of El Clásico (a match Benzema missed). Madrid was also bounced from the Copa del Rey in the quarterfinals, ousted by Athletic Bilbao in a 1–0 result. Real Madrid still holds out hope of adding to its record tally of European silverware (13 titles) but it must overcome a 4–3 aggregate deficit to Manchester City in Madrid on Wednesday following their outrageous semifinal first leg in England this past week. For a record 35th time, Real Madrid has won La Liga’s championship, clinching the title with four games to spare following Saturday’s 4–0 win vs.

Real Madrid won the LaLiga title on Saturday after a 4-0 win over Espanyol gave them an insurmountable lead in the table.

They will host City on Wednesday looking to book their fifth Champions League final place in the past decade. Four of those titles have come since 2010 -- in 2012, 2017, 2020 and now 2022, a period in which the club has also won four Champions League titles. Karim Benzema grabbed a fourth after coming on as a substitute amid jubilant scenes at the Bernabeu.

Real has been the dominant side in Spain this season -- so far winning 25 league games and losing just three -- with Benzema's 42 goals in 42 games spearheading that success. Real has now won 35 league titles -- nine more than rival Barça -- and it means Ancelotti has become the first manager to win the Premier League, the Bundesliga, Serie A, Ligue 1 and La Liga in his coaching career. It is Real's second league title in three years and one Carlo Ancelotti's side has claimed with relative ease having moved an unassailable 16 points ahead of Barcelona with five games left to play this season.

It was the Frenchman's 26th goal in 30 league games this term. I want to celebrate." Consistency. I have to thank the players for their work and their attitude. Today we have to celebrate, not to talk. If we do it right, there is nothing to worry about." Real have 81 points with four games to go.

A Rodrygo brace against Espanyol all but secured Real Madrid's La Liga title by halftime, putting Los Blancos up two goals at the break on Saturday. Carlo Ancelotti's team saw things through, winning 4-0, and clinching the La Liga title with four matches still to go in the season. Benzema, Dani Carvajal, Toni Kroos, Ferland Mendy, and Vinicius Junior were among those who started the day on the bench as Madrid rolled. Vinicious Junior was right behind him with 14 goals and 11 assists as Real took care of business after losing out to Atletico Madrid last season.

26 The previous best margin of victory in Real's history is 12 points, which they have achieved twice, first in 1960-61 and again in 1974-75. Sergio Ramos had a prolific campaign as well, leading Madrid to the best defensive record in the league and also scoring 11 times. Also transforming into a world-class player this season has been Vinicius Jr., who has become one of the first names on the Real Madrid team sheet. He currently sits on 26 goals from 30 league matches so far this championship term. With the win over Espanyol, Madrid served an ace to clinch the crown.

However, they had grit and persistence, earning six of their last nine league wins with goals scored late in the second half, some in breathtaking fashion like coming from two goals down to win 3-2 at Sevilla two weeks ago. Casemiro continues to be rock solid in the middle of the pitch and Rodrygo, Eduardo Camavinga and Federico Valverde have all had a break-out season showing that they are ready to be a major part of the club’s future. The coach needed patience to handle a locker room full of veterans that were believed to have passed their prime and young prospects that were still to reach their full potential.

Despite plenty of obstacles in their path, Real Madrid clinched LaLiga in style. Here's how they rose above the competition this season.

But this is a championship win that, I'll argue, has its three podium positions filled by Courtois, the utterly preternatural will to win exhibited by Modric and a clutch of other on-pitch generals plus, in pole position, the startling brilliance of the Vinicius-Benzema partnership. Usually in "minor" games, when some of the team were in third gear, not fifth, the towering Belgian who, alongside Modric, has gradually assumed a leadership role in this group, would paw away some fantastic effort from his top left or right hand corner and charge down a marauding attacker to save the day in close combat. But even if you are a broken-spirited Atleti, Barca or Sevilla fan, you'd have to be massively mean-spirited too in order not to admit that the "Vin-Ben" duo invent some fantastic freestyle jazz out there on the pitch. Madrid, apparently tiring, in the midst of the most extraordinary Champions League performances allowed Julen Lopetegui's side to get a two-goal start, look like they were going to crush the league leaders and then took Sevilla to the cleaners. It's a likeable and oft-quoted nicety that this trophy completes the "re-poker" (as Spain's football community calls a five-time triumph) of Ancelotti's league title wins in Europe's top leagues. An immediate trip back to the same city, a Camp Nou Clasico and a 2-1 win which was much more comprehensive and classy than the scoreline suggests. They are another footballing version of the "Odd Couple." So to win this long slog trophy in the midst of all that disruption is laudable. Our champions twice gifted their most dogged pursuers a lead when they played, but then forced one of Los Blancos' most favoured words, "remontada" ("comeback"), on them in each occasion. Even the subsidised cost of the Allianz Arena, opened for World Cup 2006, left Bayern Munich financially compromised for a few years such that they lost two of the four Bundesliga titles up for grabs while it was being built. Madrid played their first three matches away from home, nominally a disadvantaged start, then their first Bernabeu game in front of just 19,000 fans. Having dealt with Espanyol and clinched the title with Saturday's comprehensive 4-0 win ( stream the replay on ESPN+ in the U.S.), there remains the possibility that more Champions League glory might follow against Manchester City on Wednesday at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium.
