Real Madrid secured the title following their away victory at Málaga on the final matchday, finishing with 93 points and winning a record-extending 33rd championship, their first since the 2011–12 season.[3] Barcelona finished second, three points behind Real Madrid.[4] Real became only the second side after Barcelona in 2012–13 to score in all 38 games of a La Liga season.[5]
Name sponsorship
editThe Spanish top flight dropped the sponsorship from BBVA and was now called LaLiga, while the second division was called LaLiga2.[6][7] The league made this change to maximize the La Liga brand. On 20 July, Banco Santander was appointed as the new sponsor.
Teams
editPromotion and relegation (pre-season)
editA total of 20 teams contested the league, including 17 sides from the 2015–16 season and three promoted from the 2015–16 Segunda División. This included the two top teams from the Segunda División, and the winners of the play-offs.
Deportivo Alavés was the first team from Segunda División to achieve promotion, after a ten-year absence from La Liga, on 29 May 2016 after winning 2–0 against CD Numancia.[8] CD Leganés was promoted as the runners-up after winning 1–0 at CD Mirandés in the last match-day, on 4 June 2016. This was Leganés' first promotion to the top division.[9] CA Osasuna was the last to be promoted after beating Gimnàstic de Tarragona and Girona FC in the play-offs.[10] The Reds returned to La Liga two years after their last relegation.
The three promoted clubs replaced Rayo Vallecano, Getafe, and Levante, who were relegated at the end of the previous season after five, twelve, and six years respectively.
