Last updated on May 8th, 2024 at 12:35 pm
Real Madrid had a truly awesome season in La Liga, which is the top soccer league in Spain. They lost only one game all year long! With just a few games left to play, Real Madrid was way ahead of every other team by 13 points. The next closest team was Girona in second place.
Since Real Madrid’s lead was so huge, it meant they would win La Liga as long as no other team could catch them. And that’s exactly what happened when Girona shockingly beat Barcelona 4-2. That huge win for Girona made it impossible for Barcelona or any other team to get enough points to pass Real Madrid. So Real Madrid won their 36th La Liga title, which is more than any other club.

Girona Earns First Ever Champions League Spot
With their 4-2 victory, Girona not only helped Real Madrid win the league, but they also earned a spot to play in the Champions League for the very first time! The Champions League is the biggest soccer tournament for the best clubs in Europe. For a smaller club like Girona from a tiny city, making it to the Champions League is a truly amazing and unexpected accomplishment.
As for Real Madrid, winning La Liga once again just confirms how incredibly dominant and talented they are. With their experienced stars and top manager Carlo Ancelotti, they ran away with the Spanish league title in a season where they rarely lost. It’s the 36th time they have been crowned La Liga champions, which is more than any other club in Spanish soccer history.
