Spain Celebrates with Real Madrid for Championship Victory (Video)

Real Madrid celebrated their La Liga title with their fans on Sunday, receiving an official government welcome and parading through the streets of the capital on a bus carrying the players and the championship trophy. Real Madrid secured the La Liga title for the thirty-sixth time, four rounds before the end of the season, but was unable to celebrate at that time due to a challenging upcoming match against Bayern Munich in the return leg of the UEFA Champions League semifinals.

The royal club defeated the Bavarians 3-2 on aggregate to set up a date with Borussia Dortmund in the final, which will take place at Wembley Stadium in London on June 1. German midfielder Toni Kroos addressed the fans, expressing confidence that they would return in three weeks.

Thousands of fans gathered to welcome the team bus as it toured the capital before heading to the club's traditional celebration spot at Plaza de Cibeles. The championship trophy was presented during a ceremonial event at the club's training center.

Real Madrid usually celebrates titles at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, but the venue is preparing for a concert on Sunday. Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez remarked that the team had overcome a situation that seemed insurmountable, referring to a wave of injuries that affected players early in the season.
