ANKARA (AA) — Real Madrid on Saturday secured their 36th Spanish LaLiga title after Barcelona were handed a 4-2 loss at Girona.

Earlier on Saturday, the Whites beat Cadiz 3-0 as Brahim Diaz, Jude Bellingham, and Joselu scored for the home team at Madrid's Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, and then Real Madrid waited for Barcelona's failure.

Barcelona took the lead twice in the first half but Girona were dominant in the second half securing victory against their powerful opponents. Girona's Portu scored twice against Xavi's Barcelona in the second half of the six-goal thriller.

Girona, LaLiga's surprise package, have qualified for the 2024-25 UEFA Champions League for the first time in club history.

Real Madrid have 87 points to win the Spanish league title, with four matches to spare.

Second-place Girona have 74 points after beating Barcelona.

Barcelona are on 73 points, moving to the third spot in the standings.
