La Liga champions Barcelona ended their campaign with a 1-0 win at home to Real Sociedad on Sunday thanks to a sensational distance strike from Philippe Coutinho as the Nou Camp paid an emotional farewell to departing captain Andres Iniesta.
Barcelona's Andres
Iniesta and team mates celebrate with the La Liga trophy after the match.
Coutinho drifted inside from the left and held off two
defenders outside the area before rattling the ball in off the far post with a
venomous shot, breaking the deadlock in the 57th minute.
The league’s top scorer Lionel Messi started the game on the
bench but replaced Coutinho in the 67th minute. Iniesta was substituted in the
82nd, hugging most of his team mates as well as some Real Sociedad players and
the referee as he left the Nou Camp pitch for the last time as a Barca player.
Barca’s fans held up a mosaic before the game reading
"Infinite Iniesta”. They later revealed a banner saying "Thanks for so much” in
tribute to a player who came through the club’s academy and spent 16 years
pulling the strings in midfield, winning nine Liga titles, four Champions
Leagues and six domestic Cups.
They continued to sing Iniesta’s name long after he had gone
off the pitch. The captain returned with his team mates after the final whistle
to lift the club’s 25th Liga title and also show off the King’s Cup trophy
which they won in April, beating Sevilla 5-0 in the final.
Barca end the season
on 93 points, 14 more than second-placed Atletico Madrid and 17 above last
year’s champions Real Madrid. Ernesto Valverde’s side lost only one Liga match,
last week’s 5-4 defeat at Levante.
