Barcelona kept Real Madrid at bay to retain the La Liga title as silverware was dished out around Europe.

There were also celebrations for Bayern Munich, while Zlatan Ibrahimovic was lauded in Paris and Gonzalo Higuain broke a long-standing Serie A scoring record.

But what else happened in Europe this weekend as further champions were crowned and others didn't have it quite as good?

BSports rounds up the stories you might have missed.

Brugge back in the champions' club

Club Brugge are Belgian champions for the first time in 11 years thanks to a 4-0 hammering of title rivals Anderlecht.

There are still two games to go in the play-off system used to determine the title winners.

But Brugge's victory on Sunday means Michel Preud'homme's side are now six points clear and, thanks to finishing top of the regular-season standings, cannot be overhauled.

Top scorer Abdoulay Diaby scored twice within five minutes in the first half, before Hans Vanaken and Timmy Simons added goals after the break to spark Brugge's title celebrations.

Hat-trick heroes Benfica

Benfica secured a third successive Portuguese title as they held off the challenge of Lisbon rivals Sporting on a fluctuating final day.

The defending champions were two points ahead of Sporting going into Sunday's closing round of games.

Sporting threatened to take the title thanks to a better head-to-head record after they scored their opening goal in a 4-0 win over Braga to go top of the table briefly.

But that situation lasted just three minutes as Benfica then went in front against Nacional through captain Nicolas Gaitan, before going on to complete a 4-1 victory.

Jonas scored the second goal to take the Brazilian's total for the season to 32 as he finished as the league's leading scorer.

Gaitan added the third and Pizzi the fourth as Benfica, who at one point trailed Sporting by eight points, secured the title with a record number of points and club record total of 87 goals for an 18-team division.

Bad lucks come in threes for Stuttgart

Stuttgart has enjoyed better days than the finale of the regular season in Germany as the city suffered three relegations.

The senior team - three times Bundesliga champions - ended a 39-year stay in the top flight as they were relegated.

It also spelled the end of head coach Jurgen Kramny's spell in charge.

Kramny, 44, replaced Michael Zorniger in November but will revert to his former job as coach of the reserves, who finished bottom of the German third division.

They therefore drop into regional football, along with Stuttgart Kickers who were relegated after finishing third from bottom of the third tier.

Mixed finish for Fletcher

Steven Fletcher hasn't pulled up many trees in France but marked what may be his last Ligue 1 game for Marseille in eventful fashion as he scored and missed a penalty.

Fletcher's loan move from Sunderland was one of the more surprising January transfer deals and the Scot made an early impression with a cup goal on his first start.

That was it, though, until the former Hibernian, Burnley and Wolves striker, 29, claimed his first league goal in his 12th appearance in a 1-1 draw at bottom club Troyes in Saturday's final round of league fixtures.

There was to be no happy ending as Fletcher then missed a spot-kick inside the last 10 minutes but he has a chance of salvation and a possible big finish in next weekend's Coupe de France final against Paris St-Germain, who are seeking to complete a domestic treble.

Travel-sick Sevilla

Sevilla obviously enjoy their trips around Europe, if not across Spain.

Unai Emery's side will be bidding to win the Europa League for the third year running when they face Liverpool in the final in Basel on Wednesday night.

Sevilla therefore played a weakened team for their final La Liga fixture on Saturday and lost 3-1 at Athletic Bilbao, meaning they finished the season without a single away league win.

Timothee Kolodziejczak was sent off as Sevilla finished the season in seventh place, with their Copa del Rey final against Barcelona to come next Sunday.

A bit more Totti?

A running sideshow of Italian football this season has been the 'will he stay or will he go?' saga of Roma legend Francesco Totti's future.

The former Italy international, 39, is out of contract this summer after 23 years at the Stadio Olimpico.

Totti has been a bit-part player under Luciano Spalletti as Roma finished third in Serie A.

But reports in Italy suggest Roma's record appearance maker has been offered a new deal.

"We have offered Totti another year's contract as a player," Roma director Mauro Baldissoni is quoted as saying in the Italian media.

So... is Totti staying? "We're waiting for a response," Baldissoni reportedly said. "He'll want to think about it."
