Suarez hat-trick gives Barcelona 24th La Liga title

Barcelona forward, Luis Suarez, scored three goals to secure the Catalans a second consecutive La Liga title, with a 3-0 win over Granada on Saturday.

Luis Enrique side went into the game sitting one point above rivals Real Madrid and knowing that a win will secure them the title.

Suarez opened the floodgate in the 22nd minute, when Jordi Alba was released behind the defence line after a one-two with Neymar.

Alba sent the ball across the face of goal for Suarez to tap-in from six yards.

The Uruguayan international headed a second goal before halftime from Dani Alves’ cross to take his La Liga tally to 39 goals.

Barca found themselves under increased pressure in the second half when Javier Mascherano sustained an injury.

But Suarez completed the rout in the 86th minute to record his 40th goal of the season after a good work from Neymar.

Meanwhile, Real Madrid won 2-0 against Deportivo, but their efforts went in vain as Barcelona finished the season with 91 points to secure their 24th title.
