Real Madrid hosted Espanyol on Saturday in the La Liga knowing that only a point would confirm their league title. The Madrid giants have smashed a 4-0 goals win over the Catalan visitors with the courtesy of Rodrygo’s brace and goals from Asensio and Benzema.
The Brazilian duo, Marcelo and Rodrygo, combined beautifully to open the scoring for Madrid. In the 33rd minute, Rodrygo played a magnificent one-two with Marcelo up the left wing before defeating two defenders. The former made it 1-0 with a controlled shot to the far corner. Rodrygo Goes made it 2-0 just before the break when Mariano had won the ball in a dangerous area.
Rodrygo defeated Cabrera and tricked the goalkeeper for a wonderful finish. Marco Asensio gave a juicy lead of 3-0 goals early in the 2nd half from a counter attack. Real Madrid got the 4th of the night at 83rd minute that Vinicius Junior had assisted for Karim Benzema. The Brazilian winger made a great run to the byline and found the French goal-machine waiting for the ball. Benzema made no mistake to make it 4-0 for Madrid, scoring his 26th goal, highest in the La Liga this season.

Real Madrid captain Marcelo have celebrated his 24 trophies with the club, setting up a record. They have gathered 81 points in 34 matches with this win, 17 points clear of Sevilla and 18 points of Barcelona.

However, the Los Blancos will host the second-leg, trailing by a goal on aggregate at Santiago Bernabeu on Wednesday. The in-form La Liga Champions will fancy their chances to beat the Citizens and play the final for grabbing their 14th UCL glory.
