Real Madrid v Cádiz - La Liga latest as Los Blancos edge closer to the title.

Real Madrid's super second-half performance saw them cruise to a 3-0 victory over Cadiz and edge closer to the La Liga title.

The first half lacked quality with Carlo Ancelotti making wholesale changes due to this game falling in the middle of their crucial Champions League semi-final tie against Bayern Munich.

Given Los Blancos' healthy gap at the top of the table today's game was very much overshadowed and the hosts looked far from their best.

However, they meant business in the second period and an early goal from Brahim was quickly doubled by substitute Jude Bellingham.

Madrid were firmly in control and a stoppage-time strike from Joselu secured the points.

Real's convincing second half performance gives them the victory over Cadiz and they edge closer to the title.

All that they require is Barcelona to drop points against Girona later today and Los Blancos will be crowned champions.

He gets his goal! It's a superb counter attack from the hosts, and the selfless Nacho squares it to Joselu who taps it in.

Almost a third to round things off for Real but Joselu's header comes off the post.

We are now in to four minutes of stoppage time.

All you can hear is the famous champions chants ringing around the Bernabéu for the first time. It's a matter of when and not if for the hosts and the La Liga title.

You might think the hosts would look to see the game out safely now given the huge week ahead of them, but they want to put this beyond doubt and balls continue to be whipped into the Cadiz box.

There will definitely be a party in the Spanish capital tonight if Barcelona can't win at Girona.

Not for the players though who have a huge game against Bayern Munich on Wednesday.

The hosts are dominating now and Diaz comes off for Vinicius Jr.

He's only just come on! Bellingham once again for Madrid. A perfectly timed cross from goalscorer Diaz sets up the Englishman for his 18th goal this season.

Two substitutions for the visitors but they are defensive changes rather than attacking. Both Pires and Carcelen come on.

On comes Jude Bellingham to a fantastic reception from the hosts.

Great pressing from Camavinga to win the ball high up. He finds Joselu but his shot across goal is deflected out for a corner.

Madrid are a lot sharper than they were in the first half and just look to be pulling away from the visitors at the moment.

Cadiz will have no choice but to change their game plan and look for the equaliser soon.

From one end to the other! Brahim breaks the deadlock. He cuts inside from the left and a slip from the Cadiz defender allows him to find the far top corner.

A huge chance for Cadiz after a mistake at the back from Real. Ramos is one on one but Courtois comes out strong and makes the save.

Saved by Ledesma but the shot from Arda Güler was going wide anyway.

A free kick in a very dangerous position on the edge of the box for the hosts.

We get back underway at the Bernabéu with Cadiz kicking off.

Real Madrid return to European action against Bayern Munich in their crucial semi-final second leg on Wednesday.
