Madrid finish with a record 100 La Liga points


Real Madrid rounded their season off in style with a 4-1 win over Mallorca on Sunday night.
Cristiano Ronaldo took his season tally to 46 goals by opening the scoring and a strikes from Karim Benzema and Mesut Ozil (brace) completed the win. Gonzalo Castro scored for the visitors.
The victory saw Madrid finish on a record 121 goals this season as well as finish with 100 points after 38 games - having won 32 of their games this season.
The match saw Madrid firing from the start and Gonazlo Higuain was denied the opener in the sixth minute after a goal was ruled out in a controversial offside decision.
Sami Khedira then saw his effort blocked in the seventh minute before the hosts finally broke the deadlock in the 18th minute.
Ronaldo got onto the end of a terrific cross from Marcelo ad powered his header home. Four minutes later they would celebrate once more when Ronaldo, Higuain and Benzema combined with the Frenchman capping off the move.
Raul Albiol replaced Alvaro Arbeloa due to injury before the break but the hosts remained in control in the second-half with Ozil slotting home a loose ball four minutes in to make it 3-0.
Mallorca hit back two minutes later when Castro rifled a shot past Iker Casillas but Ozil was not done yet and tucked away another good cross from Marcelo on the hour mark.
Los Blancos saw out the remainder of the match without too much trouble to bring a fitting end to their title-winning season. Soccer Laduma
