Carlos Gurpegi, Athletic Club player: "It's incredible. A life time dreaming about getting a title. Is a dream come true".

Luis Enrique Martinez, FC Barcelona manager: "I congratulate Athletic because when we play the Copa del Rey final I said already that they deserved a title. We want to keep giving joy, being a competitive team. The squad is fine and united".

Andrés Iniesta, FC Barcelona player: "We have tried everything. It is a title that leaves away and is a shame, but on Sunday the Liga BBVA begins and we hope to make another great season. Is time to get up. We lost and we have to congratulate Athletic".

Josep Maria Bartomeu, FC Barcelona chairman: "It was very difficult but the players have played well, they battled and it could not be. I'll take that effort and the support of the fans. I congratulate them".
