Barcelona retained their Liga title last night after they beat Celta Vigo 1-0 and second-placed Valencia lost 2-1 at Mallorca.

It is the Catalan club's 18th league title and they are the first team to successfully defend it since they won back-to-back titles in 1998 and 1999 under Dutch coach Louis van Gaal.

Frank Rijkaard's team have the chance to cap a brilliant season with a European triumph as they play Arsenal in the Champions League final on May 17.
