Substitute Vicente Iborra scored a powerful header late on (86) for the visitors and Marco Asensio had a goal chalked off by VAR in injury-time, but Real still emerged title winners as second-placed Barcelona lost 2-1 to 10-man Osasuna.
Real head into their final game with a commanding seven-point lead.
