La Liga title edges ever closer for Real Madrid after comfortable victory over Cadiz

Real Madrid remain on course to wrap up the La Liga title on Saturday, having done their part against relegation-threatened Cadiz at the Santiago Bernabeu. Carlo Ancelotti heavily rotated his side with next week’s Bayern Munich showdown in mind, but it didn’t affect the result, which ended 2-0 to the home side.

It was a frustrating first half for Los Blancos, as Cadiz stood firm. They failed to create many chances throughout the opening 45 minutes, but just six minutes into the second period, they found the breakthrough. It was Brahim Diaz that scored a stunning goal from the outside of the penalty box.

Soon after, Real Madrid managed to double their advantage. Brahim was involved again, and his cutback was turned home by the advancing Jude Bellingham to score for the second successive La Liga match. The Englishman had only been on the pitch for a couple of minutes before finding the back of the net.

They weren’t finished there, and Joselu Mato got on the scoresheet in stoppage time, capping off a fine afternoon for the home side.

Real Madrid’s title win will be officially confirmed if Barcelona drop points to Girona in the Catalan derby later on Saturday. For now, they can enjoy another good victory in this dominant season.
