La Liga 2023/24 had Real Madrid as a dominant champion and Girona as the great revelation, turning the top of the table into a mix of authority, surprise and plenty of unexpected xTears.

At the bottom, Granada, Almeria and Cadiz went down after a season of constant punishment, too many goals conceded and perfect nights for the pain meter.
