La Liga: Real Madrid Rest Stars As Champions Win 4-0 Against Granada - In Pics

Real Madrid’s backups eased to 4-0 win at the relegated Granada on Saturday as Carlo Ancelotti rested most of his top players to avoid costly injures before the Champions League final. Defender Antonio Rudiger was the only first-choice player who Ancelotti started for a Spanish league game that was inconsequential for either side. Madrid clinched its 36th Spanish league title last weekend. It is now fully focused on the European final against Borussia Dortmund on June 1 in London after eliminating Bayern Munich on Wednesday. Little used left back Fran García scored and assisted Turkish teenager Arda Guler in the fi🤪rst half. Brahim Díaz made his case for som🔴e playing time in the title game against Dortmund after the creative forward scored two second-half goals.
