'''{{lang|es|Liga de Fútbol Profesional}}''' (''Professional Football League''), commonly known as the '''''Primera División''''' or simply '''''La Liga''''' or '''''Liga BBVA'''''<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.lfp.es/noticias/noticia_desarrollo.asp?n=2308&i=esp |title=Presentado el acuerdo por el que Primera División se llamará Liga BBVA y Segunda, Liga Adelante |publisher=lfp.es |date=04-06-2008|languages=Spanish}}</ref>, is the top professional [[association football|football]] league in [[Spain]].
Nine clubs have been crowned ''{{lang|es|Campeones de Liga}}''. Since the 1950s, [[Real Madrid C.F.|Real Madrid]] and [[FC Barcelona]] have dominated the competition. The former have been champions 31 times while the latter have won it on 18 occasions. However during the 1930s and 1940s and in more recent seasons, the ''Primera División'' has been more competitive. Other winners include [[Valencia CF|Valencia]], [[Atletico Madrid]], [[Sevilla FC|Sevilla]], [[Deportivo de La Coruña]], [[Athletic Bilbao]], [[Real Sociedad]] and [[Real Betis]].
In addition to their success in Primera División, Real Madrid, FC Barcelona and Valencia are three of the most successful teams in [[European football records|European competition history]]. All three clubs are the only [[Spain|Spanish]] clubs to have won 5 or more [[international]] trophies, all three clubs are also in the top ten most successful clubs in European football in terms of European trophies.<ref name="official European competitions">{{cite web|url=http://www.uefa.com/printoutfiles/competitions/supercup/2006/e/e_84343_pk.pdf|title=UEFA club competitions press kit (.PDF archive, page 23)|accessdate=2006-08-25|publisher=UEFA Official Website}}</ref> In 2005/06 [[FC Barcelona|Barça]] won the [[UEFA Champions League 2005-06|UEFA Champions League]] and [[Sevilla FC|Sevilla]] won the [[UEFA Cup 2005-06|UEFA Cup]].

==History==
===Foundation===
In April [[1927]] Jose Maria Acha, a director at [[Arenas Club de Getxo]], first proposed the idea of a national league in [[Spain]]. After much debate about the size of the league and who would take part, the [[Spanish Football Federation|Real Federación Española de Fútbol]] eventually agreed on the ten teams who would form the first ''Primera División'' in [[La Liga 1928-29|1928]]. [[FC Barcelona]], [[Real Madrid C.F.|Real Madrid]], [[Athletic Bilbao]], [[Real Sociedad]], [[Arenas Club de Getxo]] and [[Real Unión]] were all selected as previous winners of the [[Copa del Rey]]. [[Athletic Madrid]], [[RCD Español]] and [[CE Europa]] qualified as [[Copa del Rey]] runners-up and [[Racing Santander]] qualified through a knockout competition. Only three of the founding clubs, [[Real Madrid C.F.|Real Madrid]], [[FC Barcelona]] and [[Athletic Bilbao]], have never been relegated from the ''Primera División''.
===The 1930s===
Although [[FC Barcelona]] won the very first ''Liga'' in [[La Liga 1928-29|1929]] and [[Real Madrid C.F.|Real Madrid]] won their first titles in [[La Liga 1931-32|1932]] and [[La Liga 1932-33|1933]], it was [[Athletic Bilbao]] that set the early pace winning ''Primera División'' in [[La Liga 1929-30|1930]], [[La Liga 1930-31|1931]], [[La Liga 1933-34|1934]] and [[La Liga 1935-36|1936]]. They were also runners-up in [[La Liga 1931-32|1932]] and [[La Liga 1932-33|1933]]. In [[La Liga 1934-35|1935]] [[Real Betis]], then known as ''Betis Balompie'', won their only title to date. ''Primera División'' was suspended during the [[Spanish Civil War]], but clubs in the [[Second Spanish Republic|Republican]] area of Spain, with the notable exception of the two [[Madrid]] clubs, competed in the [[Mediterranean League]]. [[FC Barcelona]] emerged as champions in 1937.
===The 1940s===
When the Primera Liga resumed after the [[Spanish Civil War]] it was [[Atlético Aviación]], [[Valencia CF]] and [[Sevilla FC]] that initially emerged as the strongest clubs. [[Atlético Aviación]] were only awarded a place during the [[La Liga 1939-40|1939-40]] season as a replacement for [[Real Oviedo]], whose ground had been damaged during the war. The club subsequently won their first Liga title and retained it in [[La Liga 1940-41|1941]]. While other clubs lost players to exile, execution and as casualties of the war, the [[Atlético Aviación]] team was reinforced by a merger. The young pre-war squad of [[Valencia CF]] had also remained intact and in the post-war years matured into champions, gaining three Liga titles in [[La Liga 1941-42|1942]], [[La Liga 1943-44|1944]] and [[La Liga 1946-47|1947]]. They were also runners-up in [[La Liga 1947-48|1948]] and [[La Liga 1948-49|1949]]. [[Sevilla FC]] also enjoyed a brief golden era, finishing as runners-up in [[La Liga 1939-40|1940]] and [[La Liga 1941-42|1942]] before winning their only title to date in [[La Liga 1945-46|1946]]. By the latter part of the decade [[FC Barcelona]] began to emerge as a force when they were crowned champions in [[La Liga 1944-45|1945]], [[La Liga 1947-48|1948]] and [[La Liga 1948-49|1949]].
===Di Stéfano, Puskás, Kubala and Suárez===
Although [[Atlético Madrid]], previously known as ''Atlético Aviación'', were champions in 1950 and 1951 under ''[[catenaccio]]'' mastermind [[Helenio Herrera]], the 1950s saw the beginning of the [[FC Barcelona|CF Barcelona]]/[[Real Madrid C.F.|Real Madrid]] dominance. During the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s there were strict limits imposed on foreign players. In most cases clubs could only have three foreign players in their squads, meaning that at least eight local players had to play in every game. During the 1950s, however, these rules were circumnavigated by [[Real Madrid C.F.|Real Madrid]] and [[FC Barcelona|CF Barcelona]] who naturalised [[Alfredo Di Stéfano]], [[Ferenc Puskás]] and [[Ladislao Kubala]]. Inspired by Kubala, Barça won the title in 1952 and 1953. Di Stéfano, Puskás and [[Francisco Gento]] formed the nucleus of the [[Real Madrid C.F.|Real Madrid]] team that dominated the second half of the 1950s. Real won ''Primera División'' for the first time as ''[[Real Madrid C.F.|Real Madrid]]'' in 1954 and retained it in 1955. They were winners again in 1957 and 1958, with only [[Athletic Bilbao]] interrupting their sequence. [[FC Barcelona|CF Barcelona]] with a team coached by [[Helenio Herrera]] and featuring [[Luis Suárez Miramontes|Luis Suárez]] gained the title in 1959 and 1960..
===The Madrid Years===
Between 1961 and 1980, [[Real Madrid C.F.|Real Madrid]] dominated the ''Primera División'', being crowned champion 14 times. This included a five-in-a-row sequence from 1961 to 1965 and two three-in-a-row sequences (1967-69 and 1978-1980). During this era only [[Atlético Madrid]] offered Real any serious challenge, adding four more titles to their tally in 1966, 1970, 1973 and 1977. Of the other clubs, only [[Valencia CF]] in 1971 and the [[Johan Cruyff]]-inspired [[FC Barcelona]] of 1974 managed to break the might of [[Real Madrid C.F.|Real Madrid]].
===The 1980s===
The [[Madrid]] winning sequence was ended more significantly in 1981 when [[Real Sociedad]] won their first ever title. They retained it in 1982 and their two in a row was followed by another by their fellow [[Basque Country (autonomous community)|Basques]], [[Athletic Bilbao]] who won back-to-back titles in 1983 and 1984. [[Terry Venables]] led [[FC Barcelona]] to a solitary title in 1985 before [[Real Madrid C.F.|Real Madrid]] won again another five in a row sequence (1986-90) with a team, guided by [[Leo Beenhakker]], and including [[Hugo Sánchez]] and the legendary [[Quinta del Buitre|''La Quinta del Buitre'']] - [[Emilio Butragueño]], [[Manuel Sanchís Hontiyuelo|Manolo Sanchís]], [[Rafael Martín Vázquez|Martín Vázquez]], [[José Miguel González Martín|Míchel]] and [[Miguel Pardeza Pichardo|Miguel Pardeza]].
===The 1990s Barça years===
[[Johan Cruyff]] returned to [[FC Barcelona]] as manager in [[1988]], and assembled the legendary ''Dream Team''. Cruyff introduced players like [[Josep Guardiola]], [[José Mari Bakero]], [[Aitor Beguiristain|Txiki Beguiristain]], [[Jon Andoni Goikoetxea Lasá|Goikoetxea]], [[Ronald Koeman]], [[Michael Laudrup]], [[Romario]] and [[Hristo Stoichkov]]. This team won ''Primera División'' four times between 1991 and 1994 and won the [[European Cup 1991-92|European Cup]] in 1992. Laudrup then moved to arch-rivals [[Real Madrid C.F.|Real Madrid]] after a fall-out with Cruyff, and helped them end Barcelona's run in 1995. [[Atlético Madrid]] won their ninth ''Primera División'' title in 1996 before Real Madrid added another Liga trophy to their cabinet in 1997. After the success of Cruyff, another Dutchman - Ajax manager [[Louis van Gaal]] - arrived at the [[Camp Nou]], and with the talents of [[Luís Figo]], [[Luís Enrique Martínez García|Luis Enrique]] and [[Rivaldo]], Barcelona again won the title in 1998 and 1999. Meanwhile, Real Madrid also experienced success on the intercontinental stage, winning the [[UEFA Champions League]] in 1998.
===The new millennium===
As ''Primera División'' entered a new century, the Big Two found themselves facing new challengers. Between 1993 and 2004, [[Deportivo de La Coruña|Deportivo La Coruña]] finished in the top three on ten occasions, a better record than either [[Real Madrid C.F.|Real Madrid]] or [[FC Barcelona]], and in 2000, under [[Javier Irureta]], they became the ninth team to be crowned champions. Real Madrid won two more Liga titles in 2001 and 2003 and also the [[UEFA Champions League]] in 2000 and 2002, and won their third league title in 2007 after a three year drought. They were challenged by a re-emerging [[Valencia CF]] in both competitions. Under the management of [[Héctor Cúper]], Valencia finished as Champions League runners-up in 2000 and 2001. His successor, [[Rafael Benítez]], built on this and led the club to a Liga title in 2002 and a Liga/[[UEFA Cup 2003-04|UEFA Cup]] double in 2004. The 2004-05 season saw a resurgent Barcelona, inspired by the brilliant [[Ronaldinho]], win their first title of the new century, in addition to the Liga-Champions League double in 2005-06. [[Sevilla FC]] also won the [[UEFA Cup 2005-06|UEFA Cup]] in 2006 and again in [[UEFA Cup 2006-07|2007]], when the Andalusians defeated fellow Spaniards [[RCD Espanyol]] 3-1 on penalties. After 3 years of misery, Real Madrid finally won the La Liga in 2006-2007 and 2007-2008 season.

==Note on name changes==
During the [[Spanish Second Republic]] clubs such as [[Real Madrid C.F.|Real Madrid]] and [[Real Betis]] dropped the ''Real'' from their name, [[Real Sociedad]] became ''Donostia CF''. In [[1941]], [[Language politics in Francoist Spain|a decree issued by Franco]] banned the use of non-[[Spanish language]] names. [[FC Barcelona]] and [[Sevilla FC]] became ''CF Barcelona'' and ''Sevilla CF'', both [[Athletic Bilbao]] and [[Athletic Aviación]] changed the spelling of their prefix to ''Atlético'', [[Sporting de Gijón]] and [[Racing de Santander]] became ''Real Gijón'' and ''Real Santander''.
==Individual awards==
Many individual awards are conceded relating to La Liga, although not sanctioned by the [[Liga de Fútbol Profesional|LFP]] nor the [[Spanish Football Federation|RFEF]] they're widely regarded as official.
===Top scorer and best goalkeeper===
The most notable of them are the [[Pichichi Trophy]], awarded to the top scorer of the season, and the [[Zamora Trophy]] for the goalkeeper with the least "goals-to-games" ratio (with some extra rules, see the main article). Both trophies are awarded by the biggest sports newspaper in Spain, ''[[Diario Marca|Marca]]''.
*'''[[La Liga 2007-08|2007-08]] winners:''' [[RCD Mallorca|Mallorca]]'s [[Dani Güiza]] (''Pichichi'') and [[Real Madrid]]'s [[Iker Casillas]] (''Zamora'').
===Best player===
In [[2008]], a new trophy has been awarded to the best player in the league overall: the [[Di Stéfano Trophy]], also created by ''Marca''. The 50 top players, chosen by visitors to Marca's official website every week of competition, made it into a final ballot, where a specialized jury, which included former football stars [[Jorge Valdano]], [[Fernando Hierro]], [[Emilio Butragueño]], [[Andoni Zubizarreta]], [[Spain national football team|Spain's national team]] [[head coach]] [[Luis Aragonés]] and [[Alfredo Di Stéfano]], decided the final winner. The first edition was won by Real Madrid star [[Raúl González]], after three voting rounds since there was a tie between him and runner-up [[Sergio Agüero]].
*'''[[La Liga 2007-08|2007-08]] winner:''' [[Real Madrid]]'s [[Raúl González]].
