Twitter Reacts as Barcelona Clinch La Liga Title

Barcelona went into their final match of the 2015-16 La Liga season at Granada one point above fierce rivals Real Madrid. Only a win in Andalucia would guarantee the Blaugrana the title, setting up a tantalising final day of Spanish top-flight action.

Before kick-off, the prevailing opinion on Twitter was that Barca would have no trouble bagging the silverware:

"

Barcelona will win La Liga #LaLiga 

There were a few fans, however, who felt that it would be Madrid's day:

"

Barcelona to bottle it with countless missed chances and a comfortable Real Madrid win including a Ronaldo masterclass to win them la liga

"

Real Madrid will win 2-0, Barcelona will win 3-0.

The pro-Madrid predictions turned out to be misled, but no one on Twitter channeled their inner Nostradamus quite like this user:

In the seventh minute, it was Los Blancos who took the advantage when Cristiano Ronaldo (who else?) converted his 50th goal of the season in all competitions:

Around the same time that Ronaldo scored, Gerard Pique headed an effort toward goal that may have crossed the line, but it was not given:

Moments later, Ronaldo bagged his second of the day:

Seven minutes before the half, Suarez appeared to put the title beyond Real's reach with his second:

One Madrid fan at A Coruna was having a particularly bad day:

In the 86th minute, Suarez confirmed Barcelona's title win with his hat-trick strike:

Both Real Madrid and Barcelona were victorious, but it was the Blaugrana who had the most to celebrate:
