Barcelona boss Luis Enrique: 'We deserved La Liga title'

Barcelona boss Luis Enrique has insisted that his team "deserved" to win the La Liga title this season.

Saturday's 3-0 win over Granada made it back-to-back La Liga crowns for the Catalan giants and 24 championships in total.

Barcelona faced criticism for exiting the Champions League at the quarter-final stage, but Enrique has laughed off suggestions that his team have had "a bad season".

"If you win the league, you can't say it's been a bad season because it's the trophy for consistency. It shows that you've been at a very high level all season. If you think you've had a bad season then forget it," Enrique told reporters.

"This league needs to be appreciated and enjoyed as it deserves. It was a very tough campaign and it took a lot out of us. I ask the fans to celebrate in style, including on the street, but in moderation. We deserved this league, more so because we managed to overcome the most delicate moments of a season."

Barcelona will take on Europa League finalists Sevilla in the Copa del Rey final next weekend.
