Real Madrid are mathematically La Liga champions. 'Los Blancos', as expected, got the job done by beating Espanyol 4-0 and they won their 35th La Liga title.
Madrid fans had a party at the Santiago Bernabeu and then they continued once the team arrived at the Cibeles fountain in Madrid.

But that was not all. Real fans automatically thought ahead to their next league fixture against their next opponents, Atletico Madrid. Simeone's men are expected to give Ancelotti's side a guard of honour after winning the league.
However, this is far from the truth. 'SER' reported in the build up to Atletico's game with Athletic Bilbao that Atletico Madrid are not in favour of giving them a guard of honour.
It must not be forgotten that Zidane, when he was the Real Madrid coach, refused to give Barcelona a guard of honour when they won the 2017-18 La Liga title. 'Marca' says that the club argued that Barca did not do the same when they won the Club World Cup.
