For most clubs, Spanish league not about winning the title (The Associated Press)

The race for the Spanish league title went down to the wire for Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid. The majority of Spanish clubs started the season with no realistic expectations of winning the championship, already knowing that it would be one of the two powerhouses, or surging Atletico, lifting the trophy when it was all over. Barcelona was the one celebrating last week after clinching its second consecutive title, and sixth in eight seasons.
