Barcelona were crowned Primera Division champions
for the first time since 2006 after Real Madrid lost 3-2 at
Villarreal on Saturday night.
Madrid twice came from behind to draw level, but
keeper Iker Casillas' error in stoppage time gifted Villarreal the
victory which leaves Juande Ramos' men eight points behind Barca
with just two games left.
Even a draw, though, would not have been enough for Madrid to
stay in the title hunt.
Barcelona travel to Real Mallorca on Sunday, but the Catalans'
focus can now turn to their Champions League final meeting with
Manchester United.
It is the second trophy for Barcelona this term after they
secured the Copa del Rey in midweek.
Villarreal denied Pep Guardiola's men the title last weekend as
they scored a last-gasp leveller at the Nou Camp, and there was
another thrilling climax at El Madrigal, although this time Barca
were the beneficiaries.
