Barcelona won its 24th Spanish title Saturday with a 2-0 win over Granada, finishing one point above Real Madrid in the La Liga standings.
Real Madrid took a quick 2-0 lead over Deportivo, moving past Barca in the live standings, but Luis Suarez quickly moved the Catalan club back on top with a pair of goals. He completed a hat trick with another goal in the 86th minute.

Saturday was the final day in the La Liga campaign, and it was a continuation of the unbelievable success Suarez has enjoyed in Barcelona.

It’s not all bad for Real Madrid, though. Los Blancos still have a chance to win the European crown when they play third-place La Liga club Atletico Madrid in the Champions League final in Milan later this month.
