Atletico Madrid defender Miranda has claimed that winning the La Liga title at Barcelona was how the capital outfit "would've liked to" claim the crown.
The 1-1 draw at the Camp Nou ensured that Atletico topped the division and picked up their first league trophy in little under 20 years, when boss Diego Simeone was a player for the capital outfit.
"Now it's time to celebrate. We and our fans had a brilliant campaign. We deserve to enjoy it," Inside Spanish Football quotes Miranda as saying.
"This is how we would've liked to win La Liga. It's difficult to win a league that has Real Madrid and Barcelona, but we think we deserved it from the beginning."
Atletico face Real Madrid in the Champions League final next weekend.
