From that moment, Espanyol struggled to respond. Barcelona controlled possession, dictated the tempo, and never lost composure. Then, deep into injury time, FermÃn López sealed the deal. A composed finish in the 95th minute made it 2-0, and with that, the title was officially theirs. The celebrations began instantly—on the pitch, in the dressing room, and all across the streets of Barcelona.
Hansi Flick, in his first season, becomes only the sixth foreign manager to win LaLiga with Barça. And what a debut season it's been: a domestic double, having already claimed the Copa del Rey. The team has evolved under him, blending experience with youth. Frenkie de Jong and Pedri bossed the midfield once again, while Lewandowski and Raphinha contributed a combined 43 league goals. But it’s Yamal who’s stolen the spotlight—13 assists and goals at key moments, he’s been the heartbeat of this campaign.
This title means more than just a trophy. It’s redemption after a turbulent few years and a clear message: Barcelona are back. And not just back to win—they’re here to dominate again. Fans gathered at Canaletas to celebrate well into the night, and even legends like Messi and Luis Suárez sent in their congratulations. Even Real Madrid extended a rare public felicitation.
As for Espanyol, the defeat leaves them still fighting to secure their top-flight status. But last night belonged to Barcelona—a team that dared to dream, worked through the setbacks, and came out on top. Champions of Spain once more, and very deservedly so.
