The Spaniard was delighted with Barcelona’s character as the Catalan giants won the league trophy for a second successive season under his reign and the Barca coach has now turned his attentions to beating Sevilla in next Sunday’s Copa del Rey final.

“We played very well over the full season, we were many weeks on top of the table, and the most consistent team wins the title,” Luis Enrique said. “I am very happy for all Barca fans, for our families and the club.

“People suffer a lot in some moments, and now we have won six of the last eight titles — which shows this club has a winning mentality. We must value each title win, it is worth a lot.”
