On Wednesday May 11, 2011, FC Barcelona drew with Levante and clinched the Spanish Primera Division of La Liga. They celebrated on Levante's home field after the game. It was their third straight Spanish league title. They finished just ahead of rival Real Madrid, who finished in second place for the third year in a row. Barcelona won the title this season in dominating fashion.

After winning the season opener at Racing Santander 3 '" 0, Barcelona was shocked by Hercules at home 0 '" 2. Hercules was promoted to the Primera Division just this season. They will finish near the bottom of the La Liga standings. But this was a memorable win for the newly promoted club. Barcelona fans left the game early. Those who remained expressed their displeasure at the end of the match.

Barcelona have won La Liga, again.

But Barcelona rebounded. They went on a tear, going undefeated in the next 31 games. This included a stretch of 16 straight wins. One of those wins was in Barcelona against powerhouse Real Madrid. In front of 98,000, Barcelona defeated Real 5-0 in a rout. Real entered that match undefeated. There were plenty of highlights in the game, but most of them were for Barcelona. The game turned ugly in the 30th minute when Real forward Cristiano Ronaldo shoved Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola. Ronaldo was shown the yellow card for his actions. The win put Barcelona on top of the standings. They never relinquished the top spot after that.

This is Barcelona's fifth title in the last seven seasons. They have a current record of 29 wins, 5 draws and 2 losses. Winning their last two games will give them 98 points in the standings. Barcelona set a record last season with 99 points. No team has ever earned 100 points in a season. This is their 21st title overall. Barcelona have the second most titles next to Real who have 31 titles.

Barcelona now have their eyes on the UEFA Champions League title. They will play Manchester United in the finals on May 28, 2011 at Wembley Stadium in London, England.

Manchester United wins its 19th English Championship

Manchester United rallied to tie Blackburn 1-1 and claimed its record 19th English championship on Saturday, May 14, 2011. Wayne Rooney scored the title-clinching goal on a penalty kick in the 73rd minute.

The title victory surpassed arch rival Liverpool's 18 championships, and it fulfilled Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson's 1986 vow to knock Liverpool.

In the title-clinching match, they fell behind 1-0, but kept up the pressure on Blackburn and finally broke through for the goal in the 73rd minute by keeping pressure on the Rovers and causing the foul. That's what separated Manchester United from the rest of the Premier League this year. Chelsea, Arsenal, and maybe even Manchester City, were more talented, but United never gave up. That's why the Red Devils won their 19th title; they never quit.
