Real Madrid have all they can ask for with just one La Liga game of the season to go and that is the destiny of the title in their own hands, coach Zinedine Zidane said on Saturday.

Madrid lead Barcelona by three points at the top of the table and just need to avoid defeat at Malaga on Sunday to be assured of a first La Liga title in five years.

Barca need to beat Eibar at home to have any chance of leapfrogging their fierce rivals.

Here, we look at six other occasions where Madrid had to seal the title on the last day of the season

A sole Ferenc Puskas goal enabled Madrid to claim their 11th domestic title under the noses of Atletico Madrid.
