It was a sweet victory for the Spanish giant as they thrashed Sevilla 5-0 to win the Copa del Rey final on Saturday.
At half time Sevilla were 3-0 down, Luis Suarez scoring home Philippe Coutinho's pass to open the scoring in Madrid.
The Argentine striker Lionel Messi increased the score line before setting up Suarez for the third.
Andres Iniesta added the fourth goal before Coutinho's penalty gave Barca's first trophy since Ernesto Valverde took charge last May.
In a statement to the press, Barca coach Ernesto Valverde revealed: "Each competition is an opportunity and we had the chance to play a final without thinking about what had happened before.
"Clearly how we lost against Roma left an impact and today we have been better from the start. The idea was to win today and now we need to rubber stamp winning the league.
"I feel fine, when you lose in a compeititon with a big club there are always repercussions and not just small issues that would be the case elsewhere. This happened in the Super Cup and the Champions League for the way we were beaten.
"We were anxious to win something to show that we are fine."
The excited Bacelona coach "Valverde" expressed his joy with the way his boys played.
