Football league season
The2017–18 La Liga season, also known asLaLigaSantander for sponsorship reasons,[ 3] was the 87th since its establishment. The season began on 18 August 2017 and concluded on 20 May 2018.[ 4] The fixtures were released on 21 July 2017.[ 5]
Real Madrid were the defending champions.Barcelona , under new managerErnesto Valverde , won the league title on 29 April 2018 with four matches to spare.[ 6] It was the second part of adouble -winningseason for Barcelona , who also won the2018 Copa del Rey final .[ 7]
Levante ,Girona , andGetafe were the newly promoted clubs competing in the season, with Girona entering La Liga for the first time in its history. At the end of the season,Málaga ,Las Palmas , andDeportivo La Coruña were all relegated to theSegunda División .[ 8] [ 9] [ 10]
Prior to the season, several teams hired new managers, among them the previous season's runners-upBarcelona , who enlisted the services ofErnesto Valverde fromAthletic Bilbao after the exit ofLuis Enrique .[ 11] Meanwhile,Valencia , who had struggled in the previous campaign, hiredMarcelino .[ 12]
In the transfer window, Barcelona were involved in thenew world record transfer , selling Brazilian forwardNeymar to French clubParis Saint-Germain for €222 million.[ 13] They replaced him with young FrenchmanOusmane Dembélé , who signed for an initial €105 million fee that could rise to €150 million.[ 14] Defending champions Real Madrid sold strikerÁlvaro Morata to Chelsea for €80 million and lost veteran defenderPepe to Turkey'sBeşiktaş on a free transfer,[ 15] [ 16] while its largest fee paid during the window was €24 million for young defenderThéo Hernandez from city rivalsAtlético Madrid .[ 17]
Barcelona first topped the table on 16 September after winning 5–0 in its third match of the season against neighboursEspanyol ,[ 18] eventually making a run of seven wins from the start of the season that ended with a 1–1 draw at Atlético Madrid.[ 19] Valencia improved on its previous campaign and began its new season well, with Marcelino getting the best out of players such as Italian strikerSimone Zaza and on-loan Portuguese wingerGonçalo Guedes .[ 20] Real Madrid struggled in the first half of the season, with problems including a smaller squad, injuries and the comparatively poorer goalscoring form ofCristiano Ronaldo relative to recent seasons.[ 21] [ 22]
In January 2018, Barcelona added to its attack by spending €160 million on BrazilianPhilippe Coutinho fromLiverpool , while the end of a transfer ban allowed Atlético to registerDiego Costa andVitolo for action. Real Madrid managerZinedine Zidane made no signings.[ 23] Málaga were the first team to be relegated, ending its ten-season stay in La Liga with its descent confirmed after a 0–1 loss againstLevante on 19 April.[ 8] Three days later,Las Palmas ' relegation was also confirmed after the Canarian team lost 0–4 at home toAlavés to end its three-year top flight status.[ 9]
On 29 April, Barcelona sealed its 25th league title with a 4–2 win atDeportivo La Coruña , withLionel Messi scoring ahat-trick . Barcelona still had four matches to play, and it was the second part of itsdouble , having earlier won the2018 Copa del Rey Final . The result also made Deportivo the final of the three relegated teams, sending them back toSegunda División for the first time in four years.[ 10]
A day later,Real Betis , under new managerQuique Setién , booked its entry to the UEFA Europa League following a 2–1 win over Málaga.[ 24] Betis had a chance of occupying Spain's fourth UEFA Champions League spot after Barcelona, Atlético Madrid and Real Madrid, but that was soon taken by Valencia, which returned to the competition for the first time in three years.[ 25] In its second-last match of the season,Sevilla drew 2–2 with city rivals Betis to confirm seventh place and qualification for the UEFA Europa League at the expense ofGetafe .[ 26] Barcelona were on track to complete the first unbeaten La Liga season since the Spanish Civil War (and first in a 38-match season), but surprisingly lost its 37th match 4–5 at Levante, having only conceded 24 goals all season to that point.[ 27]
Promotion and relegation (pre-season)[ edit ] A total of 20 teams competed in the league: the 17 sides from the2016–17 season and the three promoted from the2016–17 Segunda División . This latter three included the two top teams from the Segunda División and the winners of theplay-offs .
Levante was the first team from Segunda División to achieve promotion, after a one-year absence from La Liga, on 29 April 2017 after winning 1–0 againstOviedo .[ 28] Girona were promoted as the runners-up after drawing 0–0 againstZaragoza on 4 June 2017, this was its first promotion to the top division.[ 29] It became the 62nd team to participate in the Spanish top level league.Getafe was the last to be promoted after defeatingHuesca andTenerife in the play-offs, one year after its relegation.[ 30]
