Sergio Ramos hails La Liga win

Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos has hailed his side's achievement after they clinched the La Liga title on Wednesday evening.

A 3-0 victory over Athletic Bilbao at San Mames secured Madrid their first Spanish championship for four years.

"We're very happy, after such a difficult league against an extraordinary Barca. [It was a] very demanding, long season," Ramos told reporters.

"Madrid are deserved winners, we dedicate this to all the Madridistas.

"It has a lot of merit because it's a long season and there are a lot of competitions. It's my third league and I'm very happy."

The league triumph is coach Jose Mourinho's first with the club after he joined from Inter Milan in 2010.
