twice
Beckham bows out with Liga
title
David Beckham has capped his Real Madrid career with a league
title.
Beckham, 32, has been in Madrid for four seasons, but Sunday's 3-1
win over Mallorca sealed a first major Spanish honour for the
US-bound midfielder.
It is the club's first La Liga title in four years and they edged
out Barcelona, who beat Gimnastic 5-1, because of their
head-to-head record.
Beckham, who is set to join the LA Galaxy, was not on the pitch at
the final whistle having been replaced by Reyes, but he joined the
raucous celebrations at the Bernabeu. "I couldn't have dreamt it
any better," said Beckham. "It's been about winning the title for
the last six months - and we've deserved it tonight.
"It's been an incredible experience, but all I remember now is the
great things. Winning this tonight now puts to bed everything
else." The England star was joined by his three sons on the pitch
and was given an emotional send off, as was Brazilian left-back
Roberto Carlos, who is joining Fenerbahce after 11 years in the
Spanish capital.
At the other end of the table, Real Sociedad and Celta Vigo were
relegated with Gimnastic.
The celebrations in Madrid will go on long into
the night - it is the Spanish giants' first league title in four
years
It is a fitting end to Beckham's career in
Spain - the midfielder now moves on to America to ply his trade
with LA Galaxy
