Guys like Nacho Fernández, Marco Asensio, James Rodríguez, Lucas Vázquez, Mateo Kovacic and Álvaro Morata have played a vital role, both in securing important victories and in enabling others to be rested - in doing so ensuring Real came into the business end of the season firing on all cylinders.

Congratulations to the players, to the coaching team and to all that have made this triumph possible. Now to secure a LaLiga-Champions League double.
