Real Madrid players defeated Espanyol (2:0) away tonight in the 34th round of La Liga and postponed Barcelona's championship celebration.

"Blaugrana" was waiting for news, hoping that Madrid would not celebrate tonight in order to mathematically defend the title, but they will have to wait for the crown. And they can win the title next week at home against their big rival, when El Clasico is on the program. The match is scheduled for May 10 at 21 p.m.

Real Madrid recorded only their second triumph in all competitions in the last month tonight.

Alvaro Arbeloa's team had their best chance in the first half through Vinicius, who hit the post, while at the end of that period, after a corner, Espanyol could have taken the lead, with Cabrera heading the ball, but Lunjin made a great save.

The guests took the lead in the 55th minute - Gonzalo Garcia assisted, and Vinicius scored.

About ten minutes later, Vinicius scored another goal and set the final score.

In the final moments of the match, Mastantuono and Bellingham had good chances, but the score remained unchanged.
