It's Vilhena with the left-footed blast from right outside the box, also deflected for a corner.

Rodrygo Goes stole the show with two goals as Real Madrid beat Espanyol 4-0 at the Santiago Bernabeu to reclaim the La Liga title on Saturday.

But while Vazquez missed the target, his strike was ruled out as Rodrygo was impeding Diego Lopez’s view. There is no stopping Karim Benzema at the moment, even when he appears off the bench for a run around the pitch. The 28-year-old did not find the back of the net but still managed to leave his mark on the game, robbing the ball off Yangel Herrera to practically set Rodrygo Goes for Real Madrid’s second goal. Marco Asensio spent the first half on the periphery of the action, but he sprung to life after the interval. Rodrygo then showed superb awareness to pounce on Mariano’s brilliant pressing before netting the second. Vallejo got a rare chance to impress and was a rock at the heart of the Real Madrid defence. The Real Madrid captain linked up beautifully with Rodrygo Goes and exchanged passes superbly in the build-up to the opener. Dani Ceballos earned a rare start for Real Madrid and took his opportunities with both hands. The Brazilian showed some teething problems in the position but left his mark on the game by completing several critical defensive actions. After the interval, Espanyol showed more desire to score, but Real Madrid defended resolutely before going 3-0 up in the 56th minute. He will need to be at his best against Manchester City next week. The Merengues gradually started to dominate the proceedings, and their endeavour brought them the opener just after the half-hour mark, as Rodrygo Goes indulged in a neat interplay with Marcelo before scoring from close range.

Real has been the dominant side in Spain this season -- so far winning 25 league games and losing just three -- with Benzema's 42 goals in 42 games spearheading that success.

It is Real's second league title in three years and one Carlo Ancelotti's side has claimed with relative ease having moved an unassailable 16 points ahead of Barcelona with five games left to play this season.
