Real Madrid won their 34th La Liga title with a 2-1 victory over Villarreal on Thursday night and arch-rivals Barcelona have reacted to the feat.
Two goals from Karim Benzema either side of half time helped Zinedine Zidane’s side open up a seven-point gap over Barcelona with one game to go in the league.
On the other hand, the Catalan side lost 1-2 to Osasuna at Camp Nou despite the visitors going one-man down in the 77th minute.
Reacting through their official Twitter handle, Barcelona congratulated Real Madrid on the league title win, the first since the 2016/2017 season.
“Congratulations to Real Madrid on winning the 2019/20 La Liga title,” the Catalan side tweeted.
