Lionel Messi scored twice in the second half, following Luis Prieto's own-goal and a goal from Pedro Rodriguez before halftime.
Barcelona finished the season with a record Spanish league tally of 99 points from 38 games.
Messi's goals took his league tally to 34 this season, equaling the club record set by Brazil's Ronaldo in 1996/97.
