10 best moments of the 2015/16 La Liga season
It has been yet another scintillating La Liga campaign packed with brilliant moments. From teams battling it out to stay in the top flight, to the superstars of the world continuing on their way to goal scoring glory, the Spanish championship had everything and then some.
FC Barcelona were deservedly crowned champions for the sixth time in just eight seasons, winning their 24th title. It went down to the wire though as, on matchday 38 they had to win over Granada to ensure their status of champions.
Either a draw or loss coupled with a Real Madrid win would have seen Los Blancos become victors for the 33rd time. Luis Suarez led the goals and assists to crown off a magnificent campaign breaking Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo’s reign at the top.
Here are the 10 best moments of this La Liga season:
#10 Cristiano Ronaldo breaks record on final match day
There’s great, there’s amazing, there’s ridiculous and then there’s Cristiano Ronaldo. The man has always been an incredible player, but his goal scoring records in the past few years have bordered on the insane.
On the final matchday against Deportivo, Real Madrid required a win to stay in the title race and hope Barcelona either lose or draw to win the title. The Catalans, of course, got the job done, but Ronaldo managed to break yet another goal scoring record with his brace at Riazor.
The Portuguese sensation scored his 50th and 51st goals to become the first player in history to score 50 goals or more for the sixth year in a row. The three-time Ballon d’Or winner keeps raising the bar and has truly established himself as one of the greatest players of all time.
