Who are the current champions of La Liga?
Barcelona is the current title-holder of the La Liga. The Blaugrana mounted a domineering campaign in the Spanish top-flight league last season in which they almost finished without recording a single loss.
Prior to their final game against Real Sociedad which they subsequently won by a goal to nil, Barcelona suffered its first defeat in a 5-4 thriller against Levante. Ernesto Valverde and his men still finished atop the league log with 93 points, scoring 99 goals in the process and conceding 29.
A staggering 14-point difference existed between the league winners and second-placed Atletico Madrid. Arch-rivals Real Madrid could only manage the third-place after an uninspiring league title defense with 76 points.
Who are La Liga's promoted and relegated teams?
Promoted: Real Valladolid, Huesca, and Rayo Vallecano
Relegated: Deportivo La Coruna, Las Palmas, and Malaga
