2007–08 La Liga


The 2007–08 La Liga season was the 77th since its establishment. It began on 25 August 2007, and concluded on 18 May 2008.
Real Madrid secured a second consecutive La Liga title following a 2–1 victory over Osasuna on 4 May 2008. This season, all European leagues ended earlier than the previous season, due to the impending UEFA Euro 2008 tournament. It also was the first year of the new La Liga television agreement, which saw La Sexta mark its first year of television broadcasting.

Teams

Twenty teams competed in the league – the top seventeen teams from the previous season and the three teams promoted from the Segunda División. The promoted teams were Valladolid, Almería, and Murcia. Both Valladolid and Murcia returned to the top flight after a three-year absence while UD Almería were promoted for the first time. However, since AD Almería played in the 1980–81 La Liga, the city of Almería returned to the top fight after an absence of twenty six years. They replaced Celta de Vigo, Real Sociedad and Gimnàstic, ending their top flight spells of two, forty and one year respectively.
