Real Madrid clinched their 32nd La Liga title and their first in four years when Gonzalo Higuain, Mesut Ozil and Cristiano Ronaldo struck in a frenetic 3-0 win at 10-man Athletic Bilbao
Victory for Madrid, who have smashed the La Liga scoring record, means coach Jose Mourinho has now won the title in four major European nations, a feat that might never be repeated.
It went some way to easing their pain after a defeat on penalties to Bayern Munich in the Champions League semi-finals last week.
Lionel Messi's record-breaking hat-trick in Barcelona's 4-1 victory at home to Malaga in the earlier kick-off had kept alive Catalan hopes of catching their bitter rivals but Real swept Europa League finalists Bilbao aside.
They have a seven-point lead with only two games left.
Mourinho becomes the first man to win league titles in his native Portugal (Porto), England (Chelsea), Italy (Inter Milan) and Spain and has ended Barca's three-year stranglehold on the title, the club where he was an assistant coach in the 1990s.
