Summary
Hello there!
Mission accomplished: on Sunday, FC Barcelona achieved what they set out to do and won the league and cup double, clinching the La Liga trophy with a 4-2 victory over Deportivo.
The sight of Real Madrid winning the title had stung and these Barca players used that to spur them on this season. They may yet complete the league season unbeaten, and what a remarkable achievement that would be.
In this special podcast, I will give you my opinion on what this title win means; where it ranks in comparison to previous FC Barcelona league triumphs; as well as the players and matches that have been key to delivering the trophy to the Camp Nou this season.
You will hear my views on Neymar, Andres Iniesta and the successful, crucial working relationship which manager Ernesto Valverde has developed with Lionel Messi.
Enjoy!
Graham
