Barcelona 2017-18: La Liga's record-setting champions in Opta numbers
Using Opta numbers, we examine the key stats behind Barcelona's record-setting La Liga campaign.
Barcelona have reclaimed the La Liga title after a dominant 4-2 victory over struggling Deportivo La Coruna secured the crown for Ernesto Valverde's side.
Having already clinched the Copa del Rey with a 5-0 thrashing of Sevilla, Barca made light work of Deportivo at the Riazor on Sunday to clinch the title with four games of a marvellous campaign in which they have yet to lose to spare.
There was a slight blip in mid-season, allowing Atletico Madrid to close the gap, but a 1-0 victory at Camp Nou - courtesy of a stunning Lionel Messi free-kick - all but ended the title race.
It marks a fantastic debut season in charge of the Blaugrana for former Athletic Bilbao boss Valverde, who arrived to little fanfare last May, with Barca securing their first title since 2014-15.
Here we look at the best Opta stats from Barca's outstanding season.
