Barcelona clinched the Spanish Liga title after a hat-trick from Luis Suarez gave them the three points they needed against Granada to finally overcome rivals Real Madrid in a captivating title race.
With all to play for on the final day of the league season, Zinedine Zidane’s side, who were a point behind their rivals at the start of play, scored through Cristiano Ronaldo in the seventh minute at Deportivo La Coruna.
The Portuguese winger doubled his side’s lead in the 25th minute, but his goal came shortly after Luis Suarez notched his first of Barcelona’s match at Granada with a simple tap in from Jordi Alba’s cross.
When the Uruguayan added a second after Javier Mascherano and Dani Alves combined to set him up, the title race looked over before half-time in both matches.
He added a third with five minutes remaining after Neymar set up the simplest of chances, to put the icing on the cake for the Catalans.
Luis Enrique’s men could now double their haul of trophies next week when they face Sevilla in the Copa Del Rey final on Sunday, May 22.
Real Madrid, meanwhile, could still lift the Champions League trophy if they beat city rivals Atletico next Saturday.
