With a 2-0 win on the road, Real Madrid managed to hold on to their 3-point advantage in the standings and regained the La Liga title after five years under Zinedine Zidane's leadership; Enrique, who announced his departure at the end of the season, failed to lead Barcelona to catch up and the King's Cup will be their final target this season; Atletico Madrid still maintains their inherent characteristics, but it is difficult for them to go further this season. In addition to the "Western Premier" three, Sevilla started the season on a high note, but still managed to win another Champions League spot ...... Below, let me take you to the top ten keywords of this season's La Liga.
1. The wonders of metaphysics!
Metaphysics, this is undoubtedly the most compelling word in European soccer this season. After taking up the coaching whip of Real Madrid, Zidane can be said to have completely carried forward the "metaphysics". In short, no matter how the outside world criticized Real Madrid play no tactics, no advantage, but Zidane's team can always win the game in the end (which is not even a lack of kill), and in the key game will have a more dazzling performance - this may be Zidane coaching talent to show it! Such metaphysics, it's wonderful ......

4. The transfer ban is back?
A transfer ban? This may be a recurring problem in La Liga in recent years. After Barcelona was penalized 2 years ago, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid were also penalized by FIFA last year with a 2-window ban on player acquisitions because of irregularities in the attraction of youth players. However, after Real Madrid actively appealed, FIFA will Galaxy Warriors penalty period from 2 transfer window reduced to 1 window, so in January this year can not attract aid after Real Madrid can resume this summer. However, Atletico Madrid did not succeed in their appeal, which means they cannot add new reinforcements this summer.

Although they finished 13th in the league, no one can deny the crazy performance of Celta in this season.

They beat Barcelona with a crazy 4-3 at home in the seventh round of the league, and then eliminated Real Madrid in two rounds of the Copa del Rey. Although they were not weak against the strongest teams, they were not strong against the weakest teams, but they deserve to be proud of such achievements! Celta also made it all the way to the quarterfinals of the UEFA Cup this season, but unfortunately couldn't pull off the upset at La Trafford. It is reported that Berizzo has been regarded as the best replacement for Sampaoli by Sevilla.
7. Enrique announces his departure
Since taking over the coaching whip of Barcelona, the debate about Enrique has never stopped. To this season, Enrique in the tactical design, personnel rotation mistakes is let him be criticized, and the Champions League away 0-4 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain after the voice of criticism has reached its peak. In early March, Enrique publicly announced his decision to leave at the end of the season, and was immediately recognized by the Barcelona senior management. Needless to say, Enrique's decision to leave galvanized Barcelona for a while, and the team pulled off an epic comeback against Paris with a 6-1 victory at home. However, the team was eventually knocked out by Juve and failed to overtake Real Madrid in the league.
8. "National Derby" killings
The "National Derby" is always the most fascinating battle in La Liga, and the killings have become the best label for the two "National Derbies" this season! The first round at the Camp Nou, Suarez's goal to help Barcelona in the second half to take the lead, but into stoppage time, the left side of the free kick pass, Ramos 8 meters from the head to help Real Madrid equalized the score; to the second round, J Luo in the 86th minute to help Real Madrid equalize the score of 2-2.

With Barcelona winning the second round of the Derby della Nacion, the title race in La Liga was extended to the final round. Although Barcelona won seven consecutive matches in the final stage of the league, Real Madrid also won six consecutive matches in the final stage of the league (including bye matches), thus successfully retaining the advantage in the table, and finally lifted the La Liga trophy with a three-point advantage over Barcelona!
10. Simeone and Griezmann's Prospects
Once again crushed by Real Madrid in the Champions League, and only able to remain in the third place in the league, Atletico Madrid is still repeating the experience of being crushed in the past few years this season. In such a difficult situation, the future of Atletico's manager Simeone and top player Griezmann became the focus of attention: Simeone was regarded by Inter as the right choice for the new manager, while Griezmann was on the list of Manchester United's reinforcements. However, at the end of the season, these two focal points have expressed their loyalty to Atletico. Simeone said, "I will stay because there is a future for this club and we, the people, are the future of Atletico." Griezmann, on the other hand, said, "I have no other plans for the future. I'll stay at Atletico because I've always had a good time since I came here."
