MADRID: No David Beckham, no Fabio Capello, no Roberto Carlos. No matter. Real Madrid won its record 31st Spanish League title on Sunday, thanks to the late heroics of newer additions who led the Spanish champion to a come-from-behind 2-1 victory at Osasuna. Substitute Gonzalo Higuain volleyed in the winner in the 89th minute, two minutes after Arjen Robben headed in the equaliser with 10-men Madrid trailing through Francisco Punal’s 83rd-minute penalty. Coach Bernd Schuster, who replaced now-England manager Capello after the Italian ended a four-year major trophy drought last season, was given $182 million in additions to retain the league title and bring a more attractive blend of soccer to the Santiago Bernabeu. Though the soccer hasn’t followed those plans, the league title did. “It looked like an American sports film in which you have to fight and suffer and we had a nice ending. We are champions,” coach Bernd Schuster said. — AP
