Juve, who clinched their record fifth consecutive title several weeks ago, suffered a shock 2-1 defeat at Hellas Verona last weekend, but rebounded emphatically. They opened the scoring with their fast- est league goal of the season when Patrice Evra headed home Dybala's free kick in the fifth minute. Dybala scored his 18th league goal of the season from the spot 10 minutes later after Milan Skriniar was shown a straight red card for a clumsy challenge on Mario Mand- zukic. The Argentine striker then beat Alberto Brignoli with a curl- ing shot from outside the area in the 37th minute. Centre-back Chiellini marked his landmark appearance with a thumping finish before Leonardo Bonucci added a close-range fifth as Juve ended a superb campaign with their biggest winning margin of the season. Paulo Dybala celebrates his goal with Giorgio Chiellini A ravenous Luis Suarez bagged a third hat-trick in five games as de- fending champions Barcelona won 3-0 at Granada to clinch their 24th La Liga title on yesterday. The Uruguayan converted Jordi Alba's low pass in the 22nd min- ute to give Luis Enrique's side the lead. He then headed in Dani Alves' cross in the 38th before tapping Neymar's pass into an empty net in the 86th. Suarez finished the season as La Liga's top scorer with 40 goals, breaking Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi's grip on the honour since 2009. Barca ended with 91 points, one ahead of Real Madrid who won 2-0 at Deportivo La Coruna. Ronaldo scored twice for Real be- fore being substituted at halftime, finishing the campaign with 35 goals. Gerard Pique came close to giv- ing Barca an early lead when his header was tipped away by goal- keeper Andres Fernandez who also saved well from Messi. Fernandez was powerless to stop Suarez's opener, however, the Uru- guayan tapping the ball home at the far post. The second goal was delightful. Javier Mascherano launched a long diagonal pass towards the byline and Alves raced to meet it before hooking a cross for Suarez to nod in from close range. Suarez nearly laid on a third for Neymar but the Brazilian was de- nied by Fernandez. Neymar then generously played in Suarez to complete his hat-trick before the end. "This title tastes great after so much hard work throughout the year and suffering right until the end," said Barca captain Andres Iniesta. "The league is the tourna- ment that tests your consistency throughout the year and it's the one we want to win every year." Real got off to an ideal start at Deportivo when Gareth Bale ma- noeuvred his way past a defender on the left and cut the ball back to Karim Benzema who squared it for Ronaldo to score in the seventh minute. The Portugal striker's second in the 25th minute had an element of good fortune, his header from a corner bouncing off Deportivo's Pedro Mosquera on its way into the net. Ronaldo also hit the post and the crossbar before being replaced by James Rodriguez although there was no suggestion he had an injury two weeks before the Champions League final against Atletico Ma- drid.
