FC Barcelona clinched their 24th La Liga title with a 3-0 win over Granada
It was a nervy final weekend in La Liga as either FC Barcelona or Real Madrid could have won the league. Madrid were one point behind their bitter rivals and needed help in order to steal the title. All Barcelona needed was a win and they were champions. They were favorites to win the title heading into the final days of the season and that’s exactly what they accomplished with a 3-0 win.
The Catalans started off strong in the first half thanks to a brace by Luis Suarez, who got assists from both Dani Alves and Jordi Alba on both of those goals. It was 2-0 at halftime and it looked like Barcelona were cruising. They had some nervy moments in the second half as Granada forced Marc-Andre Ter Stegen to make some solid saves but a goal by Suarez in the dying minutes of the game sealed the title. It’s back to back La Liga titles for the Catalans as they held off a late rally in the season from Real Madrid, who beat Deportivo La Coruna 2-0 in their final game, to win the title.
Now Barcelona will look to make it two trophies in the season as they will face Sevilla in the Copa Del Rey final, a trophy that they also won last season.
