Real Madrid and their fans had plenty to celebrate after a five-star display following their 36th La Liga title win.

Real Madrid celebrated their 36th La Liga title triumph in emphatic fashion, thrashing Deportivo Alaves 5-0 at the Santiago Bernabeu on Tuesday night.

The newly-crowned champions, who sealed the league title with five games to spare, were led by a brilliant performance from Brazilian sensation Vinicius Jr., who bagged a brace on the night.

The young forward stole the show, but the evening belonged to the entire Real Madrid squad, who put on a dominant display in front of their adoring fans.

With enigmatic defender Antonio Rudiger on the bench, Jude Bellingham opened the floodgates for the hosts, scoring his 19th goal of the campaign in the 10th minute.

Vinicius then doubled the lead before the half-hour mark, and the Englishman went on to set up Federico Valverde for the third goal of the night.

Vinicius added his second of the game in the 70th minute, assisted by Bellingham again, before youngster Arda Guler rounded off the scoring in the 81st minute to complete a comprehensive victory for Carlo Ancelotti's men.
