Real hits hapless Malaga for six

REAL Madrid made sure Barcelona will have to wait at least until Sunday to wrap up a 22nd La Liga title when Cristiano Ronaldo scored his 200th goal for the club in a 6-2 win at home to nine-man Malaga on Wednesday.

Barcelona needs two more points to wrest the league crown back from its arch rival and secure a fourth title in five years and a win at third-placed Atletico Madrid on Sunday would be enough for Tito Vilanova's side.

Barcelona has 88 points from 34 of 38 matches, with Real in second on 80 from 35. Atletico, eight points further back in third, secured a berth in the Champions League group stage with a 3-1 win at struggling Celta Vigo earlier on Wednesday.

Both matches had been brought forward due to the Copa del Rey final between Real and Atletico next Friday.

Malaga defender Sergio Sanchez was shown the red card in the 21st minute while center back Martin Demichelis was shown a second yellow card in the 73rd.
