First crown in four seasonsReal Madrid won their 30th Spanish league title on the final day of the 2007/08 season. Coach Fabio Capello's team came from behind to beat Mallorca 3-1 and beat rivals Barcelona by virtue of a superior head-to-head record. Barcelona's 5-1 triumph at Gimnastic Tarragona was not enough for the title. Real Sociedad dropped out of the top flight for the first time in 40 years after drawing 3-3 at Valencia. Celta Vigo also joined already-relegated Gimnastic Tarragona despite a 2-1 home victory over Getafe in the final round. Here is a short summary of the 2006/07 Primera Division campaign:
Real Madrid have fired coach Fabio Capello at the end of June despite the Italian guiding the club to their first Spanish league crown in four years. It is the second time the 61-year-old has left Real soon after lifting the title, but in 1997 he decided to leave of his own volition and return to Milan. Capello had two years left on his contract.
