Atletico Madrid were crowned LaLiga champions on Saturday, May 22,for the first time in seven years after holding off the title challenge of city rivals Real Madrid after making a comeback and beating Real Valladolid 2-1.
Second-half goals from Angel Correa and Luis Suarez overturned Valladolid's Oscar Plano's opener to secure the title for Diego Simeone's side after a seven years wait.
Victory for the visitors relegated Valladolid and proved vital as defending champions Real were denied successive titles by their city rivals.
Atletico, who finished two points clear of Los Blancos at the league, went into the weekend in pole position but faced a desperate Valladolid side which was seeking points to aid them.
Zinedine Zidane's men were forced to settle for second position in LaLiga despite coming from behind to beat Villarreal.
The defending champions had to win their last fixture of the season and hope for a slip at the last by Atletico, but their rivals' broke their hearts after bagging in maximum points from their final duel.
Atletico have been title favourites for much of the season, leading the league table since December 5 when they went top with a 2-0 win, also over Valladolid.
Key to their early-season prosperity was the form of Star forward Luis Suarez who was deemed surplus to requirements at Barcelona last summer who scored 16 goals in his first 17 games.
The results mean Diego Simeone's team ends the season on 86 points, two ahead of second-placed Madrid and seven above third-placed Barcelona.
It's the eleventh time that Atletico have been crowned champions of Spain, with just three of them coming in the last 40 years, in 1996, 2014 and now 2021.
