After a seven-year wait — and a dramatic final round — Atlético Madrid had won the Spanish league title. A win for Madrid and draw for Atlético would have kept the title with Madrid on the head-to-head tiebreaker. Atlético’s previous league title before 2014 was in 1996, when Simeone still played for the club. Atlético’s 11th league title ended a seven-year dominance by Barcelona and Madrid in Spain. There were only a few minutes left in Valladolid, though, and Atlético held on for the victory and the title.
