Barcelona sealed their 28th LaLiga title in style, beating Espanyol 2-0 away in a tense Catalan derby to clinch the crown with two games to spare.
After a cagey first half where chances were few and far between, 17-year-old Lamine Yamal broke the deadlock shortly after the restart with a stunning strike into the top corner.
Fermin Lopez added a second in stoppage time, finishing off a slick move to spark title celebrations among the visiting players and fans.
Espanyol’s hopes were dashed further when Leandro Cabrera saw red late on for lashing out at Yamal.
Despite some resistance, the hosts failed to break through a resolute Barcelona back line, with Wojciech Szczesny pulling off a key save to preserve the clean sheet.
The victory not only secures a domestic treble for Hansi Flick’s side but also extends their unbeaten league run to 16 matches, their best streak since 2021.
