On May 18, 1980, our team secured the championship by defeating Athletic Club at home (3-1) on the final matchday. The madridistas went into halftime with the lead thanks to a goal from \u00c1ngel. After the break, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realmadrid.com\/es-ES\/el-club\/historia\/leyendas-futbol\/juan-gomez-gonzalez\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Juanito<\/a> extended the lead, and Dani brought excitement to the match for the visitors. Pirri, from the penalty spot, sealed the victory and the championship.<\/p>\n<p>Real Madrid finished that League campaign with a one-point advantage over Real Sociedad and 14 points ahead of Sporting, who finished third. Additionally, the madridistas were the top scorers of the championship with 70 goals. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realmadrid.com\/en-US\/the-club\/history\/football-legends\/carlos-alonso-gonzalez\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Santillana<\/a> (23 goals) ended as the team&#8217;s top scorer.
