communications failure on short final

Communications failure on final RWY 33L LEMD

I read in a recently safety reports, that a B767 during the final approach crossing 1000 feet, the tower did not response to their requests of landing clearance, so the captain assumed failure communications , with the runway in sight and clear of traffic he proceeded to land. After roll out he contact ground control and explained what happened.
Is this the right procedure?
Thanks for your opinions.
