#7 La Liga - 2006/07
Barcelona were favourites to win the title for most of the season, but a defeat to Chelsea in the Champions League dented their good run of form and they started to drop points.
During this period, Real Madrid who were behind their arch rivals, slowly made their way up the table and with four games left in the season, they were ahead of Barcelona on head to head record, which is the first criteria used to differentiate between two teams tied on points in Spain.
In the penultimate game of the season, Real Madrid were playing Real Zaragoza and were heading for a defeat, but a late goal from Van Nistelrooy helped them save a valuable point. Barcelona on the other hand, were playing Espanyol in their local derby and were headed for a sure shot victory, but a late goal from Raul Tamudo ended the game in a draw. This meant that once again Real Madrid were ahead on head to head.
In the last game of the season, Barcelona steamrolled Gimnastic five goals to one, while Real Madrid fell behind early at the Bernabeu but came back in the second half with a brace from Jose Antonio Reyes and a goal from Mahamadou Diarra to win the game.
Although Barcelona had a goal difference of 45 and Real Madrid only had 26, the rules of the La Liga meant that Real Madrid were league champions.
