Barcelona coach Xavi has shrugged off defeat to Real Sociedad.

Barca celebrated winning the title before and after the 2-1 defeat.

"They had more at stake. We had been celebrating for practically the whole week and then it's hard to compete," said Xavi.

"We tried. We didn't play a bad game, but we didn't show our best."

On the title, he said: "It has a lot of merit, we have very young players We have the base and it has to be solid. From there we will build on it. Next year we go to Montjuïc, it won't be an easy year, but with the help of the fans I think it should also be an exciting year."
