Two of
Barcelona's best two players this season were not at the Camp Nou party on
Monday night. Leo Messi and Luis Suarez.
The
Argentine star was laid low by a late illness, while Luis Suarez, who has
injured his right hamstring, was kept out of it on the recommendation of the
medics.
Lionel Messi
arrived at Camp Nou with his team-mates, but started to feel bad and with the
permission of the club went back home to rest.
Rafinha,
meanwhile, has flown to the United States to join up with the Brazilian
national team at the Copa America, so was not there either.
Likewise
Arda Turan and Thomas Vermaelen, who were given permission not to attend for
personal motives.
The rest of
the club's squad and technical staff were there to enjoy the party, with around
50,000 fans.
On the
other hand, Gerard Pique and Neymar fired messages to the Madrid media cavern
as Barcelona celebrated their double win with a party at Camp Nou.
They
presented fans the Spanish Cup and La Liga trophies on Monday night and some
members of the squad gave speeches.
As well as
manager Luis Enrique and captain Andres Iniesta, Gerard Pique, Neymar and Daniel
Alves were among the players to take the microphone.
Gerard Pique
and Neymar both looked to settle some scorers. The former said: "They
always complain that we play against 10 and yesterday we were the ones who had
to play with 10. And what happened? We won again."
Neymar,
meanwhile, put an end to the rumours being spread that he might leave the club.
"I am very happy at this club," he
said. "It's an honour to win titles and share them with Cules. I am Barça. Visca Catalunya."
