Barcelona won the Spanish la liga title on Saturday in style
after beating Granada 0-3 away from home. Thanks to a sensational hat-trick
from the current league top scorer Luis Suarez.
Barca finished first with 91 points, one point above
second-placed Real Madrid, who put pressure on Barcelona with a 0-2 win at
Deportivo La Coruna, their 12th straight league win. The win in Granada clinched Barca's eighth league title in
12 seasons - the best ever run in the history of the club - and their third in
four years. It was their fifth straight win, a final run which was necessary in
order to keep rampant Real at bay.
Suarez becomes the first player other than Lionel Messi or
Cristiano Ronaldo to finish as top scorer in La Liga since 2008–09, when Diego
Forlan scored 32 for Atletico Madrid. Saturday marked the 10th time Barcelona
went into the final La Liga matchday with the chance to win the title in their
own hands having completed the job on all nine previous occasions, and did so
again.
Barcelona also have another chance to add the copa derey trophy to their store room when they take on Sevilla FC. Will they retain it as they did last season? What are your comments and contributions on that? Feel free to use the comment box below as I will be pleased to hear from you.
