It was the first time since 1951 and just the third time in league history the La Liga title came down to a head-to-head match on the final weekend of play (the others in 1945–46 and 1950–51 each involved one of the clubs involved in 2014, with Sevilla the other club on both occasions). More importantly, it was also the first time since 1989 that the top flight title came down to a head-to-head match on the final weekend of play.[1][2][3] The result was a 1–1 draw, earning Atlético Madrid the point to win their first league title in 18 years, and their tenth overall.[4]
