La Liga on social media: Madrid milestone for Sergio Ramos
Bengaluru, July 8: La Liga resumed last month after a lengthy break forced by the novel coronavirus pandemic, with the matches being staged behind closed doors in strict compliance with the COVID-19 health guidelines and protocols.

With MSL Media inputs, myKhel.com looks at some of the top social media moments from across La Liga, including some big milestones and an emotional goodbye to a much-loved former home.

Uphill battle
Leganes may be facing an uphill battle if they are to stay in Spain's top division for next season, but their 1-0 win away at fellow strugglers Espanyol was crucial in their fight to stay up.
Their now-famous matchday posters saw blue stripes painted over the traditional white surrender flag, evoking the club colours and the idea that they would never surrender.

Farewell to Calderon
The gradual demolition of the old Vicente Calderon stadium was completed with the final pieces of the structure removed.
A sad moment for all Atletico Madrid fans around the world. Former strikers Paulo Futre and Radamel Falcao even joined together to post the lyrics of the club anthem which celebrates going to the Vicente Calderon.
