Atlético Madrid have secured their eleventh league title in club history with a 2-1 (0-1) win at Real Valladolid, the first in the Primera División since 2014. Title rivals Real Madrid, two points behind Diego's eleven before the final matchday Simeone, won against Villareal 2-1 (0-1).

One win and Atléti would be champions - that's the starting position before the final 90 minutes of the season.

But after just 18 minutes there was a major setback for the league leaders.

Òscar Plano brought the penultimate, who was still fighting for relegation, into the lead.

Simeone's eleven acted nervously and had no great opportunities.

A sensational solo by Ángel Correa equalized in the second half (67th minute), ten minutes later Suárez scored for a 2-1 win (67th).

It was the 34-year-old's 21st goal of the season.

During the game, city rivals Real had long missed putting their opponents under pressure.

The goal against Yeremi (20th) was more than an hour behind the Royal and could not even use the best chances.

Only in the 87th minute did Karim Benzema equalize with his 23rd goal of the season.

Luka Modrić ensured the 2-1 success in stoppage time.
