Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu praised Atletico Madrid fans after they won the title yesterday.

Their 1-0 win confirmed Barca as champions.

"I had no doubt that the public would react well. Last year the Camp Nou cheered them. This time the audience applauded Barcelona.

"Enrique Cerezo has shown fair play in football and that means a lot," said Bartomeu.

"Messi has always been the best player in the world. Jorge Valdano, said he is the best in the world and the second best when injured."
