HALF-TIME: MALAGA 0-1 REAL MADRID
Real Madrid are 45 minutes away from their first LaLiga crown in five seasons. Cristiano Ronaldo's early strike has put them on the path to glory, but Malaga have played their part and mustered a threat with Sandro Ramirez and Keko threatening.

Malaga will be aiming to play the role of party poopers this evening, while Michel's men have been on a impressive run of form over the past month.

FULL-TIME: MALAGA 0-2 REAL MADRID
Real Madrid win their first LaLiga crown since the 2011/12 campaign and their 33rd in their history. Goals from Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema handed them the victory to leave them on 93 points for the campaign - three ahead of Barcelona who are forced to settle for second place.
