  • Real Madrid have all they can ask for with just one La Liga game of the season to go and that is the destiny of the title in their own hands, coach Zinedine Zidane said on Saturday.

    Madrid lead Barcelona by three points at the top of the table and just need to avoid defeat at Malaga on Sunday to be assured of a first La Liga title in five years.

    Barca need to beat Eibar at home to have any chance of leapfrogging their fierce rivals.

    Here, we look at six other occasions where Madrid had to seal the title on the last day of the season

    2006/07 | REAL MADRID 3-1 REAL MALLORCA

    Jose Antonio Reyes scored a brace as Madrid claimed a win to match Barca on 88 points but beat them on head-to-head record.

    2002/03 | REAL MADRID 3-1 ATHLETIC BILBAO

    Madrid edged Real Sociedad by two points on the last day after Ronaldo and Roberto Carlos found the net.

    1979/80 | REAL MADRID 3-1 ATHLETIC BILBAO

    Strikes from Angel, Juanito and Pirri saw Los Blancos edge out unfortunate Real Sociedad, by a solitary point.

    1971/72 | REAL MADRID 4-1 SEVILLA

    Madrid ran the risk of being caught by Barca and Valencia but Amancio, Santillana and a Pirri double did the business for the capital club.

    1964/65 | SEVILLA 0-1 REAL MADRID

    A sole Ferenc Puskas goal enabled Madrid to claim their 11th domestic title under the noses of Atletico Madrid.

    1931/32 | BARCELONA 2-2 REAL MADRID

    Madrid finished the season unbeaten to lift their first ever Spanish title with Athletic Bilbao runners-up.
