Barcelona has won the La Liga trophy with two games left until the end of the season. This marks their third trophy this season, hence completing their treble, having already won the Spanish Super Cup and Copa del Rey.
Barcelona secured the La Liga title with a 2-0 victory over Espanyol. Lamine Yamal was the standout performer in the match, opening the scoring in the 53rd minute with a stunning strike from outside the box.
No wonder the 17-year-old wonderkid is already receiving Ballon d'Or shouts.
Tensions flared in the first half when the game had to be temporarily halted due to a Barcelona fan who caused a car crash incident involving Espanyol supporters.
The match became tense again after Cabrera was sent off for a rough tackle on Lamine Yamal, with Espanyol fans in the stands visibly displeased with the referee's decision.
Nonetheless, Fermín López added the second goal, bringing the score to 2-0. After the game, Espanyol turned on the sprinklers in the stadium to prevent Barca from celebrating their title win
With two matches remaining, Barcelona clinches the league title with 85 points, seven ahead of second-placed Real Madrid.
Hansi Flick has now won a domestic treble in his first season as Barcelona coach.
A contract renewal has already been offered to the coach, according to Fabrizio Romano, who revealed that Barça would like to keep the tactician beyond this season due to the club’s impressive performances under him. Who wouldn't be, given how he has led the team this season? He completely outclassed Real Madrid, giving the Culers bragging rights—even without reaching the UEFA Champions League final.
As for Real Madrid, after failing to defend their La Liga title, the club’s fans will now be hoping to at least secure the Pichichi (top scorer award), with Kylian Mbappé currently ahead of Barça’s Robert Lewandowski—though it's a tight race between the two.
With the La Liga title already decided and two games remaining, fans will now turn their attention to who will emerge as the season's top scorer.
