BARCELONA, Spain (AP)—Barcelona clinched its third straight Spanish league title on Wednesday with a 1-1 draw at Levante.
Seydou Keita headed home Xavi Hernandez’s pass to put Barcelona ahead in the 28th minute, only to see Levante striker Felipe Caicedo level the score in the 40th after a mistake by Gerard Pique.

With the domestic competition wrapped up with two games remaining, Barcelona can now turn its full attention to preparing for the Champions League final against Manchester United on May 28 at London’s Wembley Stadium.
