Spanish football : Spanish Primera Division 2011/2012 season preview

Barcelona seal third straight title

Barcelona celebrated their third straight domestic title last season. Despite falling three points short of their 2009/10 tally, Barcelona still managed to record the longest winning streak (16 games), the longest unbeaten run away from home (23 games) and the most away wins in a Liga season (14). The Catalan club also secured their fourth European Champion Clubs' Cup with a 3-1 victory against Manchester United at Wembley.

Real Madrid finished four points behind Barcelona, but Cristiano Ronaldo set a new La Liga scoring record of 40 goals in a season. Real also claimed their first trophy under Jose Mourinho when Cristiano Ronaldo's dramatic extra-time winner secured a 1-0 King's Cup final victory over arch-rivals Barcelona. Barcelona, Real Madrid and third-placed Valencia reached the UEFA Champions League group stages, while Villarreal secured fourth place and La Liga's last UEFA Champions League qualification berth. At the other end of the table, Deportivo La Coruna were relegated from La Liga, ending a 20-year stay in the Spanish top flight.

Barcelona's domination continues

Barcelona dominated both the domestic and the European scene last season, clinching the La Liga title and the UEFA Champions League crown. Despite Real Madrid's superior preseason, Barcelona have won the 11th trophy of the Pep Guardiola era, with the Spanish Super Cup triumph over their arch-rivals. After six years at Arsenal and zero trophies, Cesc Fabregas needed just 48 hours to pick up his first trophy with Barcelona.
