The Catalans secured their seventh La Liga title in the last eleven years with a 1-0 victory over Atletico Madrid on Sunday, securing an unassailable four-point lead over Real Madrid with just one League match remaining in the season.
“This is a moment to remember all the people who have helped us win this title, everyone – especially our fans,” said the Barca coach after the match, as he became the fifth Catalan coach to win the League in his debut season.
“This team deserved the win and we are all really satisfied to win the league – it’s the title that rewards persistence and we have shown that we are have been at a great level.”
Barca now have the chance to emulate their treble-winning season of 2009, with a Spanish Cup clash against Bilbao to look forward to next week, as well as the Champions League Final against Juventus on 6 June.
“There are still two titles we are hoping to win, but winning the league is a great thing,” he said. “There are three games to go and two of them are finals. After the game against Deportivo, we have to focus on the Cup Final at the Camp Nou, which is a big challenge for us.”
