Barcelona are the 2015/16 La Liga
champions after a 3-0 victory on the
road against Granada, thanks to a hat-
trick from Luis Suárez. In a tough match
against a parked bus, the Blaugrana dealt
with the pressure of winning with a
sensational collective performance, and
the team's stars showed their quality to
secure the victory and celebrate the
league title.
FIRST HALF
From the very first minute, the game
plan was clear from the visitors: defend
very deep in front of the box and try to
avoid conceding. Granada never tried to
attack, and gave almost all the possession
to the Blaugrana , who were patient to
find spaces against a parked bus. It took
some time, but after a beautiful buildup
and a fantastic one-two between Alba
and Neymar, the full-back easily set up
Suárez for a tap-in opener.
The goal was good enough to clinch the
title, but Barça never stopped attacking.
The two full-backs delivered great
support runs, and after Alba assisted the
first goal, it was time for Dani Alves to
get in the action, as the Brazilian picked
up a great long ball from the back and
crossed it to Suárez, who anticipated the
play and headed home before the keeper
could even move.
At halftime, a fantastic performance, a
two-goal lead, and the trophy just 45
minutes away.
SECOND HALF
Granada needed a draw to help Real
Madrid win the title, and they tried to go
forward in search of an early goal. But
Barça were calm and continued to
control the actions, keeping possession
and trying to close the game on the
counter-attack.
With five minutes to go in the game,
Barça's game plan worked to perfection,
and the 'MSN' trio combined one last
time: a beautiful through ball from Messi,
an assist from Neymar and a third goal
for Luis Suárez, reaching a hat-trick in
the game and winning the league scoring
title with 40 goals.
In the end, a great victory with a
comfortable performance, and a second
consecutive La Liga title. Let's celebrate.
