Atletico Madrid claimed the La Liga title for the first time in 18 years after coming from behind to hold Barcelona to a thrilling 1-1 draw at the Nou Camp. Chances were scarce for either side in the opening stages, but the visitors were dealt two major blows when top scorer Diego Costa limped off before winger Arda Turan soon joined him on the sidelines through injury.
The hosts had the better of the first-half chances with Adriano and Pedro both threatening, but it was Sanchez who fired them ahead from a seemingly impossible angle after Lionel Messi’s knock-down.
However, Diego Simeone’s men found themselves back in control in the second half when Diego Godin rose to emphatically head Gabi’s corner beyond Joes Manuel Pinto as Atletico claimed their tenth title.
Gerardo Martino’s side knew that anything other than a win would see them hand the title trophy back to Madrid, but this time to the team in red and white after a stunning campaign under Simeone.
Under 500 visiting fans were said to be in the away section of the Nou Camp, with the atmosphere capturing the sense of occasion perfectly as the teams were greeted onto the field with deafening cheers.
