Barcelona Celebrate Title With Street Parade

[Folami David]

Barcelona celebrated their 22nd Spanish league title with a noisy parade through the streets of the Catalan capital.
.
Around 500 000 fans lined the streets of Barcelona late on Monday to see Lionel Messi and company parade past on a blue-and-red painted bus.
.
Barca clinched the title Saturday when second placed Real Madrid were held 1-1 at Espanyol, a result which left them seven points behind Barca with just two games left.
.
Messi and company then extends this lead to 10 points by beating third-placed Atletico Madrid on Sunday. However, Messi aggravated his hamstring injury in that win and will probably not play in Barca's remaining matches.
.
Without Messi - who is league top scorer with 46 goals - Barca will be trying to win their last three games in order to equal the record of 100 points in a season established a year ago by Real Madrid.
