# Today we will find out who wins La Liga with Barcelona off to Granada and Real Madrid making their way to Deportivo.
Barcelona defeated Granada 3-0 away from home thanks to a Luis Suarez hat-trick.
Barcelona snapped the title by one point; amassing a total of 91 while second-place Real Madrid had 90 points.
Several hundred fans from both teams invaded the pitch as players struggled to find their way off the pitch.
Madrid’s record 12-game winning streak to end the season wasn’t enough to overcome the 12-point deficit they faced to Barca back in March. As Barcelona won also their match against Granada, Real victory has been useless.
Barcelona went through a terrible run of poor form which saw their league lead decimated only a month or so ago, but Enrique said: “I think the team have recovered the level we were at several weeks ago and we’re back to producing the same performances each week”. But Barcelona picked up the pace again just in time, pulling off victories in its last five games to successfully defend the title.
Real Madrid and Atletico will still play the Champions League final on May 28 in Milan. Deportivo, on the other hand, have very little to play for having secured safety from being relegated to the Segunda division.
