Atlético Madrid Wins First La Liga Title Since 2014 as Real Falters on Final Day

It took nearly every minute of all 38 weeks, through all the deadlock and drama, but the La Liga has finally crowned a champion with Atlético Madrid securing its first league title since 2014.

Keeping with the theme of the season, Los Colchoneros needed to survive yet another scare after conceding the opening goal to now-relegated Real Valladolid, which seemed to open the door to a second-place Real Madrid side needing a win and an Atlético slip-up.

But Zinedine Zidane's side also conceded early, and the La Liga apathy seemed to continue with each team entering halftime down a goal.
