Brazilian magic delivers 29th title for Real Madrid

REAL MADRID clinched their 29th league title last night as two goals from Ronaldo and a thunderous Roberto Carlos free-kick earned them a 3-1 victory over Athletic Bilbao at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium.

On a nerve-jangling final night of a long Spanish league season, Real Madrid’s victory kept them two points clear of Real Sociedad, who had to settle for second spot despite a 3-0 win at home to Atletico Madrid.

Real Madrid took the lead with a close-range Ronaldo finish in the ninth minute only for Bilbao to equalise after 36 minutes with a Bittor Alkiza strike.
