Lionel Messi revelled in Barcelona's seventh La Liga title in 10 seasons, saying his team were "far superior" to their domestic rivals during their double-winning campaign.
The Argentinian star scored a brilliant 30th La Liga hat-trick as Barca survived a scare to beat Deportivo La Coruna 4-2, wrapping up the club's 25th league title with four matches to spare and keeping their hopes of an unbeaten season alive.
"We have been far superior to our rivals, we haven't lost a match during the whole season," Messi told Barcelona's in-house television channel.
"It's a very special Liga in that sense, because we haven't lost a single match. We've had some tough times and we've overcome everything without losing, which is unbelievable."
"That was an unexpected result in view of our shape. But we take a lot of merit to win a title as difficult as this without losing a game."
