Real Madrid's victory over Deportivo La Coruna was in vain as Barcelona beat Granada to win the title.

Real, who entered the weekend just a point behind their fierce rivals, beat Deportivo La Coruna 2-0 courtesy of a Cristiano Ronaldo brace but it proved in vain.

The Champions League finalists were on an 11-match winning streak in the league and were looking to capitalise on any further slip-up from the Catalans to steal top spot.

Barca, though, were not made to pay for their mini-slump in April - which brought three Primera Division defeats in a row - as they secured a fifth successive victory and a sixth title in eight years.

Real coach Zinedine Zidane stated: "Never once did we throw the towel in and we battled on right until the end. I'm very proud of the team, of what we've already accomplished and we're currently achieving. The only thing for me to say to them is that they must now rest up.

"I'm very proud of the players and everyone who is involved with this team. We're all disappointed, but with 38 matchdays played, we can't change anything now. Barcelona deserved to win La Liga, but you've got to take your hat off to what we've done."
