Spanish La Liga giants FC Barcelona are the 2015/16 La Liga champions, courtesy of Luis Suarez’s hat-trick The former Liverpool man scored thrice for Luis Enrique’s side in a match that seemed quite easy for the visitors despite the pressure from their fierce rivals Real Madrid.
Los Blancos also secured a 2-0 win over Deportivo but the result was not good enough to steer Zidane’s men to the title, given that Barca had maintained their one-point lead thanks to their lethal forward.
Suarez is also the winner of this season’s Pichichi, having scored 40 goals for Los Blaugrana in the league. And as expected, thousands of Barca fans took Twitter to heap praises on the 29-year old, who has been a thorn in the flesh of many goalkeepers for the better part of the season.
Here are some of the reactions as the Catalan giants secured their 24th league title.
I think Luis Suarez should come back to us. Give them Benteke.
