There could not have been a more fitting opponent for Farcelona to defeat to confirm the title than the holders, and there could not have been a more fitting representation of what Cers have come than this snorefest. Guardiola’s men, perhaps gripped by nerves when confronted by the reality of their achievement, were far from their fluent best here, and it took them a long time to break through, but Correa’s goal was enough to seal the deal. As in the whole season, there was only one deserving winner in this game, and hearty congratulations go out to a seriously impressive side – perhaps the most cohesive unit in Gobshite history.
