Atletico Madrid ended a seven years wait to win La Liga title on Saturday. Luis Suarez was the hero as he fired them to a 2-1 comeback win at Real Valladolid, which secured them the Spanish championship. The win placed Athletico on top of the league table with two points more than city rivals Real Madrid.
THE MATCH |
Valladolid took the lead in the 18th minute when Oscar Plano slotted past Jan Oblak in a counter attack. Atletico tried to bounce back but missed a series of clear opportunities. However, in the 57th Angel Correa broke through the opponents' defence to score the equaliser. Ten minutes later, Suarez delivered the winner and put Atletico on their way to a victory.
Real Madrid beat Villareal 2-1 at home and could have snatched the title away if Athletico failed to win. At the end, Atletico have been amazing this season and deserved to be the Champions of Spain. Suarez, who joined Atletico last year after being forced out by Barcelona was in tears after the match. He scored 21 goals in the campaign and Barcelona finished third in the league.
