Eyes were on other games as is usual when it comes to the penultimate matchday of the season. Real Madrid knew that Osasuna had taken the lead at Barcelona and Real Madrid knew they could attack with more freedom.
Real Madrid threatened the Villarreal goal from the off and put the defence under pressure. The pressure finally paid off and Villarreal fell behind.
Once again, quick play between Zidane's men caught the Villarrreal defence napping. Three quick passes were enough to comfortably reach the opposition box.
Modric drove the ball until the edge of the box before laying off to Benzema who put the ball through the legs of Asenjo to make it 1-0.
The French striker once again showed that one of the most in form players since the return to action and he scored his 20th goal of the season. Real Madrid are not far away from the title now.
