Diego Forlan scored his 32nd Primera Liga goal of the season to help Atletico Madrid secure a place in Champions League qualifying with a 3-0 win over visiting Almeria on Saturday. Abel Resino's side had needed only a draw to fight off the challenge from fifth-placed Villarreal, which won 3-2 at Real Mallorca thanks to a double from Joseba Llorente. Forlan's goal added to strikes from Sergio Aguero and Raul Garcia sealed a sixth consecutive win and the Uruguayan striker is almost certain to win a second European Golden Shoe award. Champion Barcelona, runner-up Real Madrid and third-placed Sevilla had already secured the three automatic places in Europe's elite club competition. Atletico goes into the qualifying stages. Villarreal will play in the new Europa League, which replaces the UEFA Cup from next season. It will be joined by Valencia, which made sure of sixth spot thanks to David Villa's 27th and 28th goals of the season in a 2-0 win over visiting Athletic Bilbao. A late Samuel Eto'o equalizer gave treble-winner Barca a 1-1 draw at Deportivo Coruna, the Cameroon international striker's 30th goal of the campaign. Deportivo finished just outside the Europa League places in seventh, four points behind Valencia. Recreativo Huelva and Numancia have already been relegated. Bremen wins German Cup Mesut Oezil scored in the second half for Werder Bremen to win the German Cup for the sixth time with a 1-0 victory over Bayer Leverkusen on Saturday. In his last game for Werder before moving to Juventus, playmaker Diego released Oezil, whose shot from a sharp angle took a slight deflection off Manuel Friedrich and beat goalkeeper Rene Adler in the 58th minute. Bremen won the second of its two finals of the season, after losing the UEFA Cup title match 10 days ago to Shakhtar Donetsk 2-1, and rescued a season that went badly in the Bundesliga, where it finished only 10th. Bordeaux clinches Ligue 1 In Paris, Girondins Bordeaux clinched its first Ligue 1 title in 10 years when a Yoan Gouffran goal earned it a 1-0 win at Caen on Saturday. The Aquitaine side, which was last champion in 1999, finished the season with 80 points, three ahead of Olympique Marseille, 4-0 winner over Stade Rennes at its Stade Velodrome. Olympique Lyon, which had won the last seven titles, ended third after a goalless draw at Toulouse and will play in the Champions League qualifying round. Toulouse, fourth, and fifth-placed Lille, which beat Nancy 3-2, will take part in the Europa League as Bordeaux's League Cup win freed a place in the former UEFA Cup. Eight-time champion Nantes was relegated despite a 2-1 home win against AJ Auxerre, along with Caen and Le Havre. RC Lens, Montpellier and Boulogne-sur-Mer were promoted from Ligue 2.
