Messi injured as champions Barca win

Barcelona last night capped their title celebrations with a 2-1 comeback win at Atletico Madrid that was only soured by an injury to Lionel Messi.

Barca were confirmed as champions on Saturday night when Real Madrid could only draw 1-1 at Espanyol but initially looked set to mark the occasion with defeat as they trailed to Radamel Falcao’s opener when Messi limped off on 67 minutes.

But by the time their talisman had reappeared, changed and showered, on the touchline Barca were ahead.
