Newly crowned Spanish champions Real Madrid cruised past Granada thanks to goals from Fran Garcia, Arda Guler and a double from Brahim Diaz.
After a first half with limited opportunities, young defender Garcia broke the deadlock after 40 minutes, connecting with a precise cross at the far post to score his debut goal for the club.
Guler, another emerging talent, extended the lead just before halftime. Garcia turned provider, delivering a cross to the penalty spot for Guler to guide the ball into the bottom corner.
Diaz further strengthened Real Madrid’s lead four minutes into the second half, intercepting a loose pass near the halfway line and unleashing a shot from the edge of the box.
Nine minutes later, Diaz netted his second goal, finishing off a swift passing sequence with a low shot into the net.
Despite opportunities for both sides, no further goals were scored in the remaining half-hour of the game.
Granada’s relegation to the second tier was confirmed, as relegation rivals Mallorca secured a 1-0 home victory over Las Palmas earlier in the day.
This triumph extended Carlo Ancelotti’s side’s unbeaten league streak to 29 matches, surpassing the club’s previous record of 28 matches set during John Toshack’s tenure in the 1989/90 season.
