Real Madrid claims Liga title

(Soccer365.com) Real Madrid came from behind with two goals in the last three minutes at Osasuna to retain the Primera Liga title in dramatic fashion.

After Villarreal's win against Getafe, Madrid needed three points in Pamplona to claim the title on Sunday, but that looked unlikely when Francisco Punal put Osasuna ahead from the spot as late as the 83rd minute.

But former Chelsea winger Arjen Robben levelled things after 88 minutes and Gonzalo Higuain completed the turnaround a minute later with a fierce drive.

The victory was all the more remarkable as Madrid were forced to play the second half with 10 men after defender Fabio Cannavaro was dismissed within a minute of the restart.

It was the 31st league title for Madrid and makes up for their disappointing Champions League exit against Roma in the last 16.

Earlier Villarreal took another big step towards securing second spot thanks to a 2-0 victory over Getafe.

Third-placed Barcelona ended their recent goal drought with a stunning 6-0 rout of Valencia.

Lionel Messi, Xavi and Thierry Henry all netted early on as the Catalans raced into a three-goal lead within 14 minutes.

Henry then added a fourth after the break and substitute Bojan Krkic bagged a brace late on as Frank Rijkaard's side bounced back from the Champions League exit at the hands of Manchester United.

Racing Santander turned a two-goal deficit into a 3-2 victory and relegated nine-man Real Murcia at the Estadio El Sardinero.

Dirnei Renato struck twice in the first half to earn Sevilla a 2-0 win over

relegation-threatened Real Valladolid.

Real Betis passed up the chance to pull themselves out of the relegation battle after being held to a 1-1 draw in Almeria.

Dani Guiza scored twice to keep Real Mallorca's slim European hopes alive with a 2-1 win at Athletic Bilbao.

Espanyol's fading European hopes look all but dead after the Catalan side drew 1-1 away to relegated Levante.
