Barcelona were convincing champions from start to finish, despite hitting a slump towards the back end of the season. There only challenge this year coming from Madrid, not Real, but Athletico, who had the chance to push the Champions right to the final day until they fatally shot themselves in the head with an unexpected loss sealing their fate with just 2 games remaining.
"SB deserves the accolades today. " A humble Real Madrid boss JM said to the media.
"He's been consistent, and took three points in many games where he should have probably only taken one or none. He and his team should be very proud."
As for JM's men at Real Madrid, it must be said it was another disappointing campaign. In the end they only lost one more games than the Champions Barcelona, but too many drawn games were the difference. They would have to settle with third place.* (Season was concluded with one match remaining - Real Madrid may still have finished 2nd).
"We are definitely not happy with the way the season started, but I am very pleased with how it finished." JM said to a packed media conference today.
"At the start of year we struggled to gel, struggled for goals. But by the end of the year this was no longer a problem. I am confident if there was 5 more games we would be champions."
Unfortunately for JM there wasn't 5 more games - and he would have to suck it up as Barcelona and SB were champions again - taking their total league titles to 3 for all-time. Well done SB.
