La Liga had its final matches this weekend with no surprises at the top but a fight to keep out of relegation. Valencia CF put the final nails in the coffin for Deportivo de Coruña with a 0-2 on Saturday night. Hercules from Alicante will be going back down after just this season in the first division, and Almería is the other club to try their luck in the second division next season.
Sevilla and Athletic Bilbao both earned spots in the UEFA Europa League while Villarreal, Valencia, Real Madrid, and Barcelona will represent Spain in next seasons Champions League. Unai Emery will be back to head Valencia CF next year after posting a pretty good year for the club. I have to say that other than a few really bad games Valencia played exciting and creative football. Only a complete fool could have expected a better result for the team than the one secured by Emery. To expect Valencia to beat out either Real Madrid or Barcelona FC in La Liga is just a silly dream. As long as those two clubs can spend over $7 million dollars per player (according to a ESPN study) the other teams in Spain don’t have much of a chance.
I could say something here about Cristiano Ronaldo winning the scoring title but I won’t.
