In response to the achievement, Xavi expressed his happiness at having helped Barca win a championship.

“We have sealed the championship victory with a fantastic match. We were brilliant. The team relaxed in the end and the opponents showed pride.

“We won La Liga in a derby, which is not an ordinary thing. It was a particular scenario and we discussed before the match.

“We’ve suffered a lot, there’s a lot of criticism here. The work being done isn’t valued enough. This is Barça and I know how it is. I’ve been there before as a player. Believing in the project gives us security.

“In some games we were brilliant in the game. I think we showed that we are a team. We want to win the remaining four games to finish the season well. The target has been achieved, which is great,” added Xavi.

With four games left, Barca are leading the table with 14 points ahead of second-placed Real Madrid.
