Super League Title Stays in Madrid

Well with as little fanfare and attention as possible, Real Madrid managed to secure their second straight Super League title.

It must also be noted that this was achieved with 3 games remaining. In truth, it was actually achieved even earlier, however due to the introduction of the new FPA rankings, Barcelona were still in contention for some points from this disastrous season - so teams were forced to play on until that was also decided.

And so as it stands - Real won a total of 23 games, 1 draw and only 6 losses out of 35 games. Bringing a whopping season total to 75 (with games in hand).

For Barcelona, there is no hiding the fact this season, as impossible as it sounds, was even worse than the season previous. Barca, managed only 13 wins, 9 draws and 12 losses from 35 games - a poor total of 48.

To make matters worse for Barcelona, Real Madrid secured all 500 FPA points on offer - taking JM's total to 600 and making him the new No. 1 player in PS4 Fifa.

Barcelona managed no points, therefore SB has 200 points from his Easter Tournament win - and is now relegated to 2nd spot. Not something he could say he's felt before in FIFA.

The once dominate professional, SB only late last year won the double in Spain with Barcelona, however he has since clearly struggled to adapt to a new system of play.

With a World Cup upon us - one can only hope SB takes the time away from club football as a positive and return to Barcelona again next season with renewed vigour.

For JM, his past 2 seasons could not have gone any better. With recruitment a big focus for Real in the off season - JM is now taking charge of his chosen country and attempt to continue his astonishing run of form and maybe even win the whole damn thing!

JM is flung to the air by his team after winning the Super League for a 2nd time
