Madrid, June 16: Real will go into their final game of the season at
home to Athletic Bilbao knowing that, if they win or match
Sociedad's result at home to Atletico Madrid, they will be
assured of taking the 29th league title in their history.
The title appeared to slip from Sociedad's grasp as
doubles from Ronaldo and Raul gave Real their comfortable win
against city rivals Atletico on Sunday
while the Basque side fell victim to two neatly
taken goals from Celta midfielder Alexander Mostovoi and
another from Egyptian striker Mido.
With just one game left to play, Real Madrid lead the
table on 75 points, Sociedad follow on 73 and Deportivo
Coruna, who lost 3-2 at Athletic Bilbao, are safe in third on
69.
With Barcelona claiming a 3-1 win over nine-man Valencia
at the Mestalla, Celta's victory assures them of fourth place
and a first ever berth in the Champions League. Celta have 61
points to fifth-placed Valencia's 57.
