Barcelona have been crowned La Liga champions for the 2012-13 season thanks to Real Madrid's 1-1 draw against Espanyol.Jose
Mourinho's side went into the clash at Cornella-El Prat knowing that
they had to win to prolong their rivals' title celebrations but could
only muster a 1-1 draw, with Gonzalo Higuain cancelling out Christian
Stuani's opener. The title success is the 22nd in the Catalan
giants' 113-year history and their fourth in the last five seasons after
relinquishing their grip on the championship to Real Madrid last term.Ahead
of the Vicente Calderon to face Atletico Madrid on Sunday, Barca have
88 points, 12 short of equalling Madrid's record tally of 100, which
they set last year.Los Blancos, meanwhile, have 81 and just two games to spare, meaning they cannot overhaul the Liga leaders.Tito
Vilanova's troops have netted 105 goals after 34 games, 20 short of the
best-ever total and have lost just two games, against Real Sociedad and
Real Madrid.They are unbeaten on home soil this term in La
Liga, but were eliminated from the Copa del Rey by Madrid and the
Champions League by Bayern Munich.
