Barcelona badges 25th LaLiga title with 4-2 victory over Deportivo

Lionel Messi netted a hat-trick, as Barcelona defeated Deportivo La Coruna 4-2 on Sunday night, to be crowned champions of Spain.

The Catalans came into the game knowing that a draw will guarantee their 25th LaLiga title, regardless of the result in the earlier match between Alaves and Atletico Madrid.

Midfielder, Paul Pogba opened the scoring for the home team in the 16th minute, while former Red Devils player, Henrikh Mkhitaryan scored the equaliser in the 51st minute.

United, however, got a late goal through Marouane Fellaini in stoppage time to give Jose Mourinho’s side the deserved three points.

Fellaini disclosed that Mourinho told him to get in the opposition box and he knew if he did so he could be dangerous.

“The manager told me to go to the box if I have the chance to keep the balance in the midfield,” Fellaini told Sky Sports

“I know my quality. I can be dangerous if the ball comes in the box. It is good for me and good for the club,” he said.

United are back in action on Friday evening, travelling to Brighton in their bid to secure their second-placed finish this season.
