Benfica wrap up league title
Portuguese powerhouses Benfica secured their 32nd league title after beating Rio Ave 2-1 at home on the final day of the season on Sunday.
The Lisbon club finished five points clear of second-place Sporting Braga, who were held 1-1 by Nacional, to clinch their first title since 2005.
Braga's position in the final standings is the highest in their history.
It also means that third-place FC Porto, champions for the last four seasons, will miss out on next season's Champions League for the first time since they won the UEFA Cup in 2003.
