It was the best end for a great first half performance.
In the second half, Piqué was substituted because he had some physical problems and Messi replied with a clear chance, hitting the bar.

It wasn’t their day and Luis Suárez hit again the bar after a couple of great saves from Keylor Navas.
The game died without many chances at the end because Los Blancos were already celebrating the title in the halftime. All are good news for Zidane in this start of the season.
