Finally, after waiting for four years, Real Madrid wins the Espana La Liga this session. On 38th week game, the champion title goes to El Real, with 3-1 victory on Real Mallorca. Barcelona also wins on their game , which is they defeats Gimnastic Tarragona for 5-1 score. This not influenced Madrid, Los Galacticos, to get their title. This result made them reached 76 point, same with yang their real rival, Barcelona. But, Real Madrid has leads position on these 2 head to head game.

El Real start was bad at the beginning of the game. Madrid also was shocked by Fernando Varela's goal on 17th minute. The situation also made worse with La Liga Golden Boot winners, Ruud Van Nistelrooy, injuries on 33th minute and replaced by Higuain.

On second leg Capello change the situation by trade off Beckham and replace him with Reyes. Capello decison was right because Reyes made a goal 68th minute. They scored2-1 on 81st minute by Mahamadou Diarra heading. Then Reyes complete El Real 3-1 victory by his goal on 83th minute.

After final whistle, this 3-1 victory received with open arms by thousands fans of Madrid. This title also completing their league trophy became 30. It's also became a happy ending career for Roberto Carlos and David Beckham at Madrid. Next season Carlos will play at Fenerbache (Turkey) and Beckham will be in LA Galaxy (USA) uniform.

Otherwise, this title also became a big question for Capello is he still coaching Los Galasticos for next season. Because the president Ramon Calderon interesting to sign Bernd Schuster as Real Madrid coach for next season. It's not a rumor that Capello relationship with Calderon today is not so good.

Beside Capello, Reyes also still wondering about his future in Madrid. This player was loan from Arsenal, and until now he haven't a decision yet from Madrid, is he will get a permanent contract or will be send back to Arsenal. The situation getting worse, because Arsenal is not interested anymore to welcomes Reyes on their club. What an ironic situation for player who makes Madrid became a champion.

Besides those situations above, Real Madrid deserve to get a happy ending this year. They 4 years bad session has lost in this year. Capello's intelligence and the players maturity has proves that they can made a beautiful year. Of course it makes a deepest dissapoinment for Barcelona's sides. But, generally a lot of football mania get a satisfaction with this La Liga session, because they have to wait until last week game to getting know who is the champion.

Finally, congratulation for Real Madrid and fans. You deserve to get the title.
