Founded in 1929, La Liga, officially known as the Primera División, was established to organize and elevate football competition in Spain. It quickly became renowned for its high level of play and the emergence of top Spanish talent.

La Liga's prominence grew significantly in the 1950s and 1960s, with clubs like Real Madrid and FC Barcelona becoming dominant forces. The league became known for its iconic players and memorable rivalries, including the fierce El Clásico between Madrid and Barcelona.

In the 1980s and 1990s, La Liga continued to attract international stars and expand its global reach. The league's exciting style of play and the success of teams in European competitions helped cement its reputation as a leading football league.

Today, La Liga remains a major force in global football, celebrated for its top-level competition, legendary players, and significant influence on the sport. Its history is marked by iconic moments and a commitment to excellence in Spanish football.

Real Madrid claimed a record-extending 36th LaLiga title on Saturday after Girona fought-back to beat Barcelona 4-2, a result that left Carlo Ancelotti's side with an unassailable lead in the standings.

Real Madrid, who have lost only once in the league this season, beat lowly Cadiz earlier on Saturday. They hold a 13-point advantage over second-placed Girona while Barcelona dropped to third with four matches remaining.

Real now can turn their attention to a LaLiga-Champions League double as they get ready to host Bayern Munich in the semi-final return leg on Wednesday after snatching a 2-2 draw in Germany last week.
