MADRID, Spain -- Not even an injury to Lionel Messi in the 2-1 victory over Atletico Madrid on Sunday could dampen Barcelonas celebrations at winning its 22nd Spanish league title. Authentic Jaguars Hoodies . Messi started his first match in six rounds because of a recurring right hamstring injury, but he left the field in the 68th minute with Barcelona trailing 1-0 to Radamel Falcaos 52-minute goal and having made all three substitutions. However, Alexis Sanchez levelled in the 72nd and Atletico midfielder Gabi Fernandez scored an own goal in the 80th to restart Barcelonas party for winning the title that was clinched when Real Madrids title defence ended with a draw late Saturday. Barcelonas hard-fought win keeps it on pace to match Madrids record haul of 100 points from last season. The Catalan club needs to win its remaining three matches to reach the mark. "This title has more merit and maybe we value it more because we didnt win it last year," said Barcelona defender Gerard Pique. "Its juicier and we are enjoying it more. Reaching 100 points would be special, but well have to fight to win the final three games." While the team savored the comeback, the real festivities with its fans will be back in Barcelona on Monday when the players and staff are paraded through the city centre. On the down side, Barcelona said Messi had re-injured his hamstring and would undergo tests. Messis early finish to the match meant he finally failed to find the net after having scored in a record 21 consecutive Spanish league appearances, smashing the old milestone of 10. Barcelona coach Tito Vilanova took time to thank his players for continuing to win without him this winter when he had to step aside to treat a throat tumour. "Its quite remarkable what my players have done this season," the first-year head coach said. "I have already said that this could have only happened in this club, spending two months without a head coach and not letting it affect anything. Thats because all these players feel at home here, they feel like the club belongs to them." Atleticos players lined up to pay tribute to Barcelona with a guard of honour before the match. But with coach Diego Simeone declining to rest his starters for the Copa del Rey final against Madrid on Friday, it was clear they were aiming to spoil the visitors title celebrations. True to style, Barcelona controlled possession in the first half, but it was unable to convert any chances. Forward Cristian Tello went the closest when he picked up a loose ball on the left side of the area and flashed a curling strike just past the far post in first-half injury time. Messi also threatened with his dribbling through the middle, but the Argentina forward sent his best chance on goal sailing high over the bar. Barcelona lost right back Dani Alves to an apparent injury in the 42nd minute, with Marc Bartra replacing him. Bartras poor pass led to Atletico going in front. Gabi set up Falcao after falling to the ground, leaving the Colombia striker to size up goalkeeper Jose Pinto and drive the ball under him for his 27th league goal this season. When Messi walked off, seemingly to be checked by team doctors in the changing room, Atletico looked poised to seal the win as it had an extra man, the lead, and no Messi to worry about. "Messi left the pitch with pain in the same area he hurt last month," Vilanova said. "He felt something strange and had to leave. Monday we will do tests and know the days or weeks he will be out, but before the game he felt fine." But Alexis linked up with Cesc Fabregas after a harmless throw-in, working a one-two combination to break down Atleticos defence before poking the ball home. Messi returned to the bench in street clothes to watch his teammates complete their comeback with a little bit of luck, David Villas off-target strike taking a deflection off Gabi and squeezing into the net. Elsewhere on Sunday, Roberto Soldado scored twice to lead Valencia to a 4-0 win at Rayo Vallecano, provisionally lifting the team into fourth place and giving it control of Spains final Champions League berth. Valencia moved one point ahead of Real Sociedad before the Basque club hosts Granada on Monday. Barcelona, Madrid, and Atletico Madrid have already locked up the other three Champions League berths. Malaga and Sevilla drew 0-0, while Real Betis kept Celta Vigo in the relegation zone with a 1-0. Ronnie Harrison Hoodie . Sgt.

That is their Achilles heel. Its not as though they havent looked like finding the net because they have the chances, but they just cant finish. Sergio Aguero is likely to be key for Man City once again As for Man City, people are saying they should be looking over their shoulder at West Ham, but I think its Arsenal who should be worried. They have tough away games to come, including one at the Etihad, and they better be careful they dont get leapfrogged.City could actually be the danger to Leicester now at the top of the table. Looking at Tottenham and Arsenals fixtures, I think City are the only ones that can catch them, and they should pick up another win this weekend.PAUL PREDICTS: 0-3 (Sky Bet, 10/1)BettingNorwich are up against odds of 5/1 for the victory and 29/10 just to secure a draw, with Sky Bet holding Manchester City as 4/7 favourites. The Canaries are also unfancied in the battle to avoid relegation at 11/4 while their visitors were trimmed from 6/1 to 11/2 for the Premier League title following their 4-0 thumping of Aston Villa last weekend.Sergio Aguero unsurprisingly heads the first goalscorer betting at 11/4 while Sky Bet struggle to pick a main threat from Alex Neils attacking options, with Patrick Bamford, Cameron Jerome and Dieumerci Mbokani all rated 17/2 chances to break the deadlock.
