Real Madrid made sure leaders Barcelona will have to wait at least until Sunday to wrap up the La Liga title when Cristiano Ronaldo scored his 200th goal for the club in a 6-2 win at home to nine-man Malaga on Wednesday.
.
Barca need two more points to wrest the league crown back from their arch rivals and secure a fourth title in five years and a win at third-placed Atletico Madrid on Sunday would be enough for Tito Vilanova's side.
.
Barca have 88 points from 34 of 38 matches, with Real in second on 80 from 35. Atletico, eight points further back in third, secured a berth in the Champions League for next season with a 3-1 win at struggling Celta Vigo earlier on Wednesday.
.
Both matches had been brought forward due to the King's Cup final between Real and Atletico on Friday May 17.
Malaga had no reply at all in the game. Real Madrid was just too strong for them. Congraz to Madrid. The win is splendid!
