Two-time reigning champions Real Madrid handed their Primera Division crown to arch rivals Barcelona after slumping to a 3-2 defeat at Villarreal.

But goals from Robert Pires, Ruben Cani and Joan Capdevila cancelled out efforts from Madrid duo Rafael Van der Vaart and Gonzalo Higuain to give Villarreal a much-needed boost in their quest for a Champions League spot and hand Barca the title.
