    Deportivo 2-4 Barcelona

    Will the city of Barcelona sleep tonight? Probably not.

    Standby for plenty of sore heads in Catalonia tomorrow.

    Time for me to dash. Before I do let me point you in the direction of these two pieces on the BBC Sport website.

    Spanish football writer Andy West argues that change is needed at Barca for a European challenge - despite being dominant in Spain.

    You can read that here.And you can read a match report on tonight's game here.

    Many thanks for your company.

    Until next time.

    Deportivo 2-4 Barcelona

    What a performance by Lionel Messi.

    A hat-trick on the night his team wins the title.

    But a word about Luis Suarez. He's the first player to assist Messi for three goals in the same game in all competitions.

    Deportivo 2-4 Barcelona

    Throwing away a 4-1 lead against Roma and crashing out of the Champions League was a crushing blow for Barca.

    But they've responded by securing a domestic Copa del Rey/La Liga double.

    Is it enough for a club like Barca where European success is crucial?

    Will Real Madrid give Barca's players a guard of honour at the Nou Camp next Sunday?

    A La Liga double over Real would be the icing on the cake for Ernesto Valverde in his first season in charge.

    Barca's players are making their way over to applaud their travelling fans.

    Meanwhile, Deportivo's players are in a huddle on the pitch.

    They've been relegated on the back of this result and there are tears in the crowd.

    It's a scene of contrasting emotions.

    Barcelona wrap up the league with four games to go.

    And they're still unbeaten. Remarkable.

    Here he comes...

    National treasure Andres Iniesta is sent on for the final moments.

    The whole of the ground rises to give him a welcome fit for a king.

    Hat-trick!

    A script made in Hollywood. Lionel Messi bags his hat-trick to seal the points on a night Barcelona are crowned champions of La Liga.

    Deportivo have been brave and bold but they are spent.

    Another super cool finish from the main man.

    Deportivo give the ball away in a dangerous position. Lionel Messi pounces on it but his shot is charged down.

    Barca are rattled! I repeat. Barca are...

    Carnage inside the penalty area as the leaders desperately try to scramble the ball away.

    Another Deportivo corner and Schar heads towards the net forcing ter Stegen to get down quickly.

    Barca sub alert!

    It's not Iniesta. Instead Denis Suarez is on for the final 20 minutes or so.

    Ousmane Dembele has been hooked.
