But the three points didn't matter as Real Madrid comfortably beat Malaga to win their first La Liga crown since 2012.

Enrique was given a warm send-off at the Camp Nou as he was greeted with a giant banner reading: "One of us forever".

Eibar shocked the home crowd after scoring just seven minutes into the clash.

Takashi Inui opened the scoring and then upset the home crowd even further by scoring the second after the break.

But Barca fought back - an own goal from David Junca set the home side on their way, before Lionel Messi missed a penalty.

Luis Suarez then equalised before Messi scored from the spot - after Jordi Alba had won one of the worst penalties ever.

The Argentine then rounded off the scoring in injury time to take his tally for the season to 53.
