Madrid: If anything defines Real Madrid it is a relentless hunger for silverware and that remained clear even as they celebrated their 36th La Liga title triumph on Sunday.

Los Blancos players partied with fans at their traditional location outside the city's Cibeles palace but the upcoming Champions League final remained in focus.

The record 14-time European champions face Borussia Dortmund at Wembley on June 1 and various players said they hoped they could return to celebrate again after the final.

"Thank you for being here to celebrate this day... I hope we see each other again in June," said veteran midfielder Luka Modric, a five-time Champions League winner with Real.

Madrid sealed their triumph last weekend with four games to spare, taking the title back from rivals Barcelona, but delayed the celebration to concentrate on beating Bayern Munich in midweek to reach the Champions League final.
