Ronaldo scored the opening goal for Real Madrid against Malaga.

Real Madrid needs only a draw to secure its first league title since 2012, but it faces a Malaga team in strong form at home.

Sitting 11th in the standings, Malaga has won four in a row at Rosaleda Stadium, beating Barcelona, Valencia, Sevilla, and Celta Vigo.

Barcelona’s hopes of a third straight title depend on it beating mid-table Eibar and Madrid losing.
