Atletico Madrid president Enrique Cerezo has revealed his delight after his side claimed their first La Liga title since 1996 on Saturday.

A 1-1 draw at Barcelona was enough for the capital outfit to claim the trophy, with Cerezo praising the "union" that has been created at the club.

"We have a league where they always say that the fair one wins, I was very calm when Barcelona scored their first goal but the final 10 minutes I had my doubts, it was a beautiful game, with emotion, with a good result," Inside Spanish Football quotes Cerezo as saying.

"The union with this team is all inclusive, fans, directors, players... we have a team that will be remembered for all of eternity.

"This win is as, or more important than the won in '96, it's been a long time since we won La Liga."

Atletico face Real Madrid in the Champions League final next weekend.
