The celebrations continue for newly-crowned La Liga champions have not waned.

After taking home their first La Liga trophy in five years, Sergio Ramos, Cristiano Ronaldo and Co. took their celebrations from streets in CelebesPlaza to the Town Hall.

This time, joining in the revelry were the Mayor of Madrid, Manuela Carmena, and Real Madrid president Florentino Perez.

A grand function, celebrating the club’s 33rd League triumph, was organised at the Town Hall as the players looked dapper in formal suits.

The victorious Madrid players were also felicitated by regional president Cristina Cifuentes of the Community of Madrid.

Both the formal functions, at the respective government offices, were attended by all the club players.

Real, coached by Zinedine Zidane, topped the final standings on 93 points, three ahead of last year's champions Barcelona, 15 above Atletico Madrid in third and 21 clear of fourth-placed Sevilla to claim the silverware.
