RONALDO'S BRACE COULD NOT SAVE REAL MADRID

Deportivo La Coruna 0-2 Real Madrid: Zinedine Zidane's side miss out on La Liga title despite Cristiano Ronaldo double

• Real Madrid needed to win and hope Barcelona slipped up on final day 
• Zinedine Zidane's side kept their side of the bargain but Barcelona won 
• Cristiano Ronaldo netted twice in first half to secure Real Madrid victory
• Barcelona beat Granada 3-0 in their game, meaning Madrid finish second
• Ronaldo's goals took his season tally to 51 and he is the first player in history to score 50+ goals for six consecutive season
• For 22 minutes Real Madrid were winning La Liga but in the end Cristiano Ronaldo's 50th goal of the season was not enough, neither was his 51st. Luis Suarez had scored more, Barcelona had picked up more points, and Real Madrid's spectacular comeback had just fallen short.
  They were 13 points behind Barca two months ago. With an incredible run of 12 straight victories they had made the Champions sweat for their 24th title. They had made their supporters panic too, above all on minute seven of this game when Ronaldo opened the scoring in Riazor.
  Gareth Bale has done more than most to power Real Madrid to the finish line in the closing stages of the season and it was his run at 40-year-old Deportivo right back Manuel Pablo that created the goal.
