BARCELONA, Spain—Real Madrid has won its record-extending 36th Spanish league title after securing an insurmountable 13-point lead over second-place Girona with four games remaining.

Madrid reclaimed its domestic crown after beating Cadiz 3–0 earlier Saturday, and Barcelona then lost 4–2 at Girona. Only a victory by Barcelona would have stopped Madrid from celebrating.
