		</div><p>Luis Suarez scored a hat-trick as Barcelona retained their Primera Division title with a 3-0 victory at Granada as Real Madrid&#8217;s late-season charge came to nothing.</p>
<p>Suarez&#8217;s first-half double put the defending champions in control and the Uruguay international confirmed Barca&#8217;s 24th La Liga crown with his third goal four minutes from time.</p>
<p>Real, who entered the weekend just a point behind their fierce rivals, beat Deportivo La Coruna 2-0 courtesy of a Cristiano Ronaldo brace but it proved in vain.</p>
<p>The Champions League finalists were on an 11-match winning streak in the league and were looking to capitalise on any further slip-up from the Catalans to steal top spot.</p>
<p>Barca, though, were not made to pay for their mini-slump in April &#8211; which brought three Primera Division defeats in four games &#8211; as they secured a fifth successive victory and a sixth title in eight years.</p>
<p>Despite a nervy start at Estadio Nuevo Los Carmenes, it was Suarez who eased the tension with a 21st-minute goal.</p>
<p>The former Liverpool forward tapped home Jordi Alba&#8217;s cross and then headed in Dani Alves&#8217; centre at the near post just before the break to double Barcelona&#8217;s advantage.</p>
<p>Granada did seek a route back into the contest but Suarez ended any hope they, and Zinedine Zidane&#8217;s Real, had of a comeback with a simple 86th-minute goal after unselfish work from Neymar.</p>
<p>The hat-trick also allowed Suarez to win his personal battle with Ronaldo in the race to clinch the Trofeo Pichichi &#8211; the league&#8217;s top scorer &#8211; with 40 goals.</p>
<p>Madrid&#8217;s talisman did do his best to breathe life into the title tussle with his own first-half double in Deportivo, but his 34th and 35th goals of the La Liga campaign were merely consolation.</p>
