Nigeria’s Oshoala, who has been nursing an injury but recently signed a contract extension, was absent in the game but joined in the celebrations after the win.

Ballon d’Or winner Alexia Putellas scored twice at the end of the first half to put the hosts in control.

Goals from Patri Guijarro and Jennifer Hermoso, along with Babett Peter’s own goal, saw Barca win the title in style.

Barca Ladies have been unstoppable in the league this season, winning all 24 of their games played so far, scoring 136 goals and only conceding six.

They remain on course for four trophies this season, including the Champions League and the Copa de la Reina, after winning the Spanish Super Cup in January.
