Madrid Celebrate Title Into The Early Hours

As the full time whistle blow at the Reyno de Navarro in Pamplona, thousands of Madrid fans descended onto the streets of the capital to celebrate their team's 31st La Liga triumph.

Supporters adorned with scarves, caps, shirts and flags carrying the famous white of Madrid congregated around the Plaza de Cibeles, embracing one another and chanting the names of the players as they waited for their heroes to make the trip back from the North of Spain.

When the team coach did finally appear - accompanied by a spectacular light show - the supporters erupted in an explosion of joy as team captain Raúl crowned the statue of the goddess of Cibeles to mark the league title victory.

The rest of the team could be seen celebrating with the fans, with Gonzalo Higuain and Fernando Gago wrapped in an Argentine flag and similarly Marcelo, Pepe and Robinho in the colours of Brazil. Sergio Ramos displayed a t-shirt dedicated to his former Sevilla colleague Antonio Puerta, who passed away in August of last year, while the other players merged into the crowd.

The celebrations continued in the early hours, but eventually dispersed as the sun began to rise to mark a new day.
