Valencia celebrate their league triumph

Valencia clinched the Spanish title when they beat Sevilla 2-0 on Sunday 9 May.

Midfielders Vicente Rodriguez and Ruben Baraja scored to give Valencia an unassailable lead over Real Madrid with two games remaining.

Real lost 3-2 to Mallorca on Saturday - their fourth defeat in their last five league matches - and will now end the season without a trophy.

Third-placed Barcelona saw their 17-match unbeaten run come to an end on Saturday when they lost 1-0 at Celta Vigo.

"The key to winning the title was that when Madrid was so far in front we didn't lose hope," said Valencia's Roberto Ayala.

Valencia could now do a league-cup double as they play Marseille in the Uefa Cup final on 19 May.

Deportivo are also guaranteed a Champions League qualifying spot as they will finish at least fourth.
