Real Madrid made it ten consecutive wins post-lockdown, as their convincing 3-1 victory against Villarreal confirmed their status as champions of Spain.
Zinedine Zidane's side came into the fixture four points clear of Barcelona at the summit and thanks to their superior head-to-head record with the Catalans, they needed just a draw to dethrone Barcelona.
Los Blancos went into the lead when Casemiro won the ball high up the field and played in Luka Modric. The Croatian, in turn, teed up Karim Benzema, who broke the deadlock with a smart finish.
Both teams shared spells of dominance but neither was able to find the back of the net, with Benzema's goal all that separated the sides heading into the break.
Trending
The second half continued in the same fashion, with Real Madrid trying to make the result safe. Sergio Ramos charged forward in a bid to force the issue and won a contentious penalty, which was upheld after consultation with VAR.
There was further controversy in the taking of the penalty, as Ramos stood over the ball only to roll it over for Benzema. However, the spot-kick was ordered to be retaken after it was seen that the Frenchman encroached the area before the ball was kicked.
Benzema himself stepped up for the retake and made no mistake from 12 yards, which all but guaranteed that Real Madrid were officially champions.
Thibaut Courtois was dazed after a challenge in the box and Toni Kroos hit the crossbar right before Villarreal pulled one back with an excellent header by Vicente Iborra.
Marco Asensio saw a late goal ruled out for a foul in the buildup but that did little to dampen the high spirits at the Estadio Alfredo di Stefano.
Joyful scenes were witnessed at the full-time whistle with even the usually stoic Zidane allowing a rare smile. As Real Madrid sealed a historic league title after a fantastic victory, we shall be highlighting five talking points from the fixture.
#5 Real Madrid win 34th LaLiga title
At the start of the season, Zidane made it clear that Real Madrid's ambition was to win LaLiga this term and the 46-year-old has delivered on his mandate.
It was far from the swashbuckling Real Madrid sides we have seen in the past, with the buccaneering style replaced by a compactness that made Los Blancos notoriously difficult to beat.
They have been especially convincing post-lockdown, with all ten matches ending in a victory for the capital side. Although they still retain hopes of reclaiming the Champions League, the league was always the sought after prize.
Barcelona's shock 2-1 loss to 10-man Osasuna at the Nou Camp meant that Real Madrid would have been crowned champions regardless of their result. Still, they ultimately played their role in bringing the title back to the capital.
#4 Two-goal hero Karim Benzema completes redemption arc
Having struggled in front of goal between 2016 and 2018, many opined that Karim Benzema could not be trusted to lead the Real Madrid attack. Those voices grew louder following the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo, who sealed an unexpected move to Juventus in the summer of 2018.
The Portuguese talisman created a void that was impossible to fill, but Benzema did his utmost and ended the season with 30 goals in all competitions. The Frenchman's tally was the second most in his Real Madrid career and the highest since the 2011-2012 season, although it ultimately counted for little as Madrid imploded spectacularly.
This season, the former Lyon man has continued from where he left off and earlier in the month, he climbed above Hugo Sanchez to move to third on the all-time top scorers' list for Real Madrid.
There have been all sorts of goals, from spectacular strikes to poacher's tap-ins. With his brace against Villarreal, the 32-year-old moved onto 26 goals for the season, which is not bad considering that many wrote him off as recently as two years ago.
#3 Even in defeat, Villarreal secure European qualification
With the top four in Spain having been decided, the last two European spots were still up for grabs with two matches left. No fewer than six clubs retained varying hopes of making it to the Europa League next season.
Villarreal had the strongest stake and needed an unlikely draw against Real Madrid to secure their spot in Europe. However, despite their defeat, results elsewhere did them massive favours.
Both Getafe and Athletic Bilbao lost to Atletico Madrid and Leganes respectively, while Real Sociedad could only post a dour goalless draw at home to Sevilla.
This means that Villarreal remain in 5th spot, three points clear of 7th-placed Getafe and their superior head-to-head with the Madrid side means that they are sure of Europa League participation next season.
#2 Routine performance symbolic of Real Madrid's season
Real Madrid have been far from their best this season but nobody can argue that they are deserved champions. In many ways, this match against Villarreal was an embodiment of everything their campaign has been about.
Karim Benzema has been their chief goal threat this season and it came as no surprise when he opened the scoring with his 20th goal of the season.
Another star of the campaign also played a key role in the buildup to the goal, with Casemiro routinely dispossessing Sofian Chakla in midfield before releasing Luka Modric. The Croatian, who himself has had a sort of renaissance this season, provided the assists for the opening goal of the game.
There have been many who opined that Real Madrid have been on the receiving end of favourable VAR decisions. Those views would be bolstered by what was a highly contentious penalty decision, which was upheld despite an extensive review by the VAR.
Sergio Ramos - arguably Real Madrid's Player of the Season - won the spot-kick and expectedly stood over it. However, the skipper graciously passed over the responsibility to his more attack-minded teammate.
#1 With league glory secured, attention can now turn to preparations for the Champions League
It might be of secondary importance right now but Real Madrid's status as European royalty means that the Champions League still holds a regal appeal to the club regardless of glory achieved elsewhere.
The Spanish giants currently have the small matter of overturning a 2-1 deficit against Manchester City. Their job is hardly helped by the fact that they would have to do so without inspirational captain Sergio Ramos, who is suspended for the fixture.
Recent performances would, however, give Zidane cause for optimism, while the return to full fitness and form of his key players would see Los Blancos head to the Etihad full of belief.
