BARCELONA (Reuters) - Barcelona underlined their hegemony of Spanish football by clinching the La Liga title with three games to spare after Lionel Messi came off the bench to fire them to a 1-0 win over Levante on Saturday in front of a 91,000-strong Nou Camp crowd.

Captain and all-time top scorer Messi hoisted the trophy into the Barcelona sky to signal his side's 26th title overall, their eighth in 11 years, and for the second season in a row, no-one in Spain has come close to competing with the Catalans.

Their last defeat was in early November, when they were humbled 4-3 at home by Real Betis and questions were raised about the their fragile defence, with Messi coming out and publicly urging his team mates to improve at the back. Atletico ran Barca a little closer but never really looked like catching the Catalans, who wrapped their tentacles around the title by beating Diego Simeone's side 2-0 this month with late goals from Messi and Luis Suarez.
