With two games left, Hansi Flick’s team overtook Los Blancos by seven points thanks to a goal from Fermin Lopez and an effort from Yamal, securing Barcelona’s 28th championship and completing an incredible domestic treble.
The only league that escaped an exciting young Barca team this season was the Champions League, which they won for the second time in six years, this time at Espanyol’s stadium, much like in 2023.
Angry home fans would pursue Barcelona players off the field back then. As the tourists hurried down the tunnel, Espanyol turned on the sprinklers this time to soak them.
Following a tough derby match that lasted 53 minutes, Yamal scored with a spectacular curling attempt, and Lopez added another in the 95th minute to seal the victory, reports JP Sports.
Flick declared, “It’s time to celebrate,” and he promised to expect even more from his squad the next year.
