Cristiano Ronaldo struck with two minutes gone against Málaga to give Real Madrid the advantage in the race for the Liga title.
Madrid, who led Barcelona by three points going into the final round of fixtures, only needed to avoid defeat to ensure that they won a first league title since 2012.
And Ronaldo settled any potential nerves with a typically composed finish with just two minutes on the clock.
Barcelona came into their fixture against Eibar knowing they had to win to stand any chance of claiming the title but some poor defending left Takashi Inui free at the back post to give the visitors an unlikely lead.
