The Catalans entered the match knowing they couldn’t afford to drop points, with Real Madrid right on their tails, but two goals from Luis Suarez in the first half all but wrapped up the title race. He would add a third in the second half.
Elsewhere, Real Madrid beat Deportivo La Coruna 2-0 thanks to a Cristiano Ronaldo brace.
