La Liga 2015/16: Barcelona crowned champions
Barcelona clinched their 24th La Liga title on Saturday with a 3-0 victory over Granada.
Goals from Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar sealed the win for the Catalans, who also secured a seventh consecutive league and cup double.
The victory puts Barcelona 10 points clear of second-placed Real Madrid with just two games remaining in the season. It is the Catalan club's third La Liga title in four years under manager Luis Enrique.
Barcelona have been in imperious form in La Liga this season, winning 28 of their 36 matches and scoring 103 goals. They have also conceded just 29 goals, the best defensive record in the league.
Messi has been the driving force behind Barcelona's success this season, scoring 37 goals in all competitions. The Argentine is now just two goals away from becoming Barcelona's all-time top scorer.
Suarez has also been in excellent form, scoring 29 goals in all competitions. The Uruguayan is now Barcelona's second-highest scorer of all time, behind Messi.
Neymar has also played a key role in Barcelona's success this season, scoring 23 goals in all competitions. The Brazilian has emerged as one of the world's best players and is a key member of Barcelona's attacking trio.
Barcelona's victory is a major disappointment for Real Madrid, who were hoping to win the La Liga title for the second time in three years. Real Madrid have been in poor form in recent weeks, winning just two of their last six matches.
Barcelona's victory is a triumph for manager Luis Enrique, who has now won nine trophies in three years at the club. The Catalan is one of the most successful managers in Barcelona's history and is sure to go down as a legend at the club.
