    Hansi Flick has told his Barcelona players that partying after their La Liga title celebrations is no excuse for letting their performances drop. Barca clinched the league title on Thursday with a two-goal victory at Espanyol, ensuring they were an insurmountable seven points clear of second-place Real Madrid with two rounds of matches remaining. The confirmation sparked celebrations with an open-top bus parade held through the Catalan city's streets on Friday.
