Real Madrid have won their first La Liga title for five seasons, sealing glory with a 2-0 win at Malaga.
Zinedine Zidane's Champions League finalists went into the final day of the season needing a point at La Rosaleda to oust bitter rivals Barcelona as champions.
In the end they did more than enough as goals from Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema secured a 29th win of the top-flight campaign.
Overall, Madrid extended their all-time record for La Liga wins to 33 and it is a success that checks Barcelona's recent dominance of the competition.
Los Blancos' previous title came under Jose Mourinho in 2011-12, marking their longest drought since Johan Cruyff's Barca won four in a row between 1990-91 and 1993-94.
Madrid now have two La Liga triumphs over the past nine seasons, set alongside six for Barca and Atletico Madrid's surprise march to glory in 2013-14.
Zidane's men will now attempt to become the first team in the Champions League era to retain their European crown when they face Juventus in Cardiff on June 3.
