Real Madrid's quest for their 36th LaLiga title is on the cusp of realization after a dominant display against relegation-threatened Cádiz.

Carlo Ancelotti's strategic rotation ahead of their crucial UEFA Champions League fixtures against Bayern Munich led to a subdued start, but Real Madrid found their rhythm as Brahim Díaz stole the show, as reported by Flashscore.

The first half saw both teams evenly matched, with Real Madrid controlling possession but failing to break through Cádiz's defense. However, a pivotal moment arrived after halftime when Thibaut Courtois denied a crucial chance for Cádiz, sparking a surge in momentum for the home side.

Brahim Díaz opened the floodgates with a spectacular strike from the edge of the area, followed swiftly by Jude Bellingham extending the lead. Despite Cádiz's resilience, Real Madrid's relentless pressure paid off in stoppage time, with Joselu sealing the victory.

For Cádiz, the defeat spells trouble as they edge closer to relegation, with their fate potentially sealed depending on Celta Vigo's outcome. Meanwhile, Real Madrid remains poised to secure the title, with their next opportunity coming against Granada.

The Santiago Bernabéu erupted in celebration as Real Madrid's victory edges them closer to LaLiga glory. While their focus remains on the domestic front, their Champions League aspirations loom large, making Ancelotti's rotation decisions crucial in managing their pursuit of success on multiple fronts.
