The Argentina forward came on after half time following a goalless first half and scored.

This is Barcelona's fourth Spanish title in five years.

Barcelona delivered the title in front of their home fans for the first time since 2010; their last four titles have been won away or without playing.

They did so with three games to spare and in doing so closed the gap on Real Madrid's record of 33 La Liga titles to seven.
