On Sunday, the last five matches of the 20th round of the Spanish "Primera" league were played.
At the "Santiago Bernabeu" stadium, Madrid's "Real" clashed with Chichon's "Sporting" footballers. Zinedine Zidane's team dominated the opponents in the first half.
The first goal for the hosts was scored by Gareth Bale, after a corner kick from Toni Kroos. Cristiano Ronaldo increased the lead in the 9th minute, and Karim Benzema started the scoring only three minutes later with a beautiful goal.
Before the end of the first half, two more goals were scored against "Gijon," added by C. Ronaldo and K. Benzema.
In the second half, the "whites" did not score any more goals and lost two of their leaders - G. Bale and K. Benzema. It is still unclear what kind of injuries the footballers suffered.
In the 62nd minute, Chichon's opponents scored a consolation goal, when Ismael Lopez took advantage of the "Real" defense mistakes to beat Keylor Navas.
"Las Palmas" hosted Madrid's "Atletico" footballers. Diego Simeone's team showed their dominance with a 3-0 victory and remained at the top of the league table.
The winners were highlighted by Filipe Luis and the Frenchman Antoine Griezmann, who scored at least one goal in almost every match. The forward scored twice against the opponents' goalkeepers in this match, bringing his total to 12 goals in the Spanish league this season.
In other matches, "Valencia" equalized at the end of the match against Madrid's "Rayo Vallecano," and Madrid's "Getafe" fought back after conceding a goal and defeated Barcelona's "Espanyol."
The last match took place at the "Camp Nou" stadium, where "Barcelona" faced Bilbao's "Athletic" to determine the rankings. A disappointing start for the Basque team resulted in a humiliating 6-0 defeat against the Catalans.
In the 4th minute, an "Athletic" goalkeeper was sent off for fouling Luis Suarez, which led to the opponent's dominance. The winning team scored goals through Lionel Messi (penalty in the 11th minute), Neymar, Ivan Rakitic, and a hat-trick from L. Suarez. The Uruguayan with 18 goals is the top scorer in the "Primera" league.
