Madrid "Real" won the Championship of Spain

The champion of Spain for the 29th time was the Madrid Real Madrid, which with a score of 3: 1 beat the Basque "Athletic". The Madrid scored two goals, another Roberto Carlos. The only response goal of the Bilbao team on Real Madrid was led by Alkisa.

Since the 1993-1994 season, for the first time, the fate of the Spanish championship in football was decided in the last round. If “Real” would have played a draw (or even more so lost), and his main rival “Real Sociedad” would have won, then the country's champion would become a team from San Sebastian, in which Russian legionnaires Karpin and Khokhlov act.

The tension was so great that Ronaldo wandered his head, saying that this brings him good luck, RIA Novosti reports. Whether this played a role, but Ronaldo spent two goals, and in general, Real Madrid played brilliantly, leaving no chances for the Basques, although they performed very well in the first half. Athletics players cost a lot - they missed a chance to perform in the Champions League.

“Real Sociedad”, who almost the entire season was the leader of the championship, won the Atletico Madrid with a score of 3-0 (one goal scored by Karpin). As a result, the champion of the country was the Royal Club. In the same last round, Barcelona won the Celta with a score of 2: 0, Valencia beat Seville - 3: 0.

The first four places of the Spanish championship, which give the right to participate in the Champions League, were distributed as follows: “Real”, “Real Sociedad”, “Deportivo” and “Celta” (the decisive contribution to this made a pavement, which in the previous match with “Real Sosedad” scored two of the three heads). Places 5-6, which give the right to play in the UEFA Cup, occupied Valencia and Barcelona.

In the last three places are “recreativo”, “Alaves” and “Valekano”, which will play in the second division next season. Their places in the highest group were taken by Albaset, Mursia and Saragos.
