2010-11 La Liga Wrap Up
Barcelona won their second consecutive La Liga title. Real Madrid finished second, Valencia third, and Villareal finished fourth. These four teams have qualified for Champions League football next season. Sevilla and Athletic Bilbao finished 5th and 6th respectively, and thus, qualify for Europa League football next season.
Deportivo, Hercules, and Almeria have been relegated. The teams that will be taking their place next season have not been completely secured yet, however two teams are known, Betis and Rayo.
Real Madrid took home the Copa del Ray after defeating Barcelona 1-0 in the final.
Cristiano Ronaldo, Real Madrid winger/forward, was the league's leading scorer with 40 goals. Ronaldo's 40 goals in one season is a new record for La Liga. In the final game of the season vs. Almeria, Ronaldo netted two goals to gain the new record, and gain an extra goal in the process. Real Madrid would go on to win that game 8-1.
Lionel Messi of Barcelona had the league's most assists with 18. Fellow Barcelona teammate Victor Valdes was voted the league's best goalie giving up the least amount of goals. Barcelona also received the Fair Play Award by getting the least amount of yellow and red cards throughout the season.
Real Madrid have already begun strengthening their squad for next season. They've already hired Bayern Munich's midfielder Hamit Altintop. Two years of no La Liga, and many years without a Champions League title, Real Madrid are not wasting any time in preparing their squad for next year.
