Barcelona, the champion of Spain, didn't just win the league on Saturday; it set some amazing marks in the process. Here are the 10 stats you must know after the team reached the summit of the Iberian nation yet again.
1. Coming back strong: Remember that rough three-match streak in April where Barcelona lost to Real Sociedad, got eliminated from the Champions League and had a shock defeat to Valencia at home? Since then, the team has scored 24 goals and allowed zero.

4. More Suarez, now in the company of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.

5. Suarez hat tricks are common, right?

10. As the tweet below points out, Real Madrid has only won La Liga once in the last eight years, its worst streak since 1953. That might be the most enjoyable start for Barca fans to read.
#OJOALDATO - El Real Madrid sólo ha ganado 1 liga en los últimos 8 años (7 de ellos con Florentino Pérez). Es su peor racha desde 1953.
