FC Barcelona Clinch Their 28th La Liga Title With Win Over Espanyol

FC Barcelona have clinched their 28th La Liga title after a 2-0 win against Espanyol. The La Liga crown can now be added to the Spanish Super Cup and the Copa del Rey.

The 2024/25 season saw Barca win their 28th league title, their 32nd Copa del Rey and the Spanish Super Cup, an unprecedented domestic treble.

The home side put up an impressive fight and Barca were far from their best, but an absolute stunner from Lamine Yamal in the 53rd minute and a second in the dying seconds of injury time from Fermin Lopez split the teams and sparked jubilation across the blaugrana universe.

Lamine Yamal scored the opener eight minutes into the second half with a trademark spectacular effort, cutting in from the wing and curling a shot into the far corner.

This was Lamine Yamal's season.

So it just had to be the teenage phenomenon who scored the decisive goal to clinch Barcelona's 28th Spanish league title.

And what a goal it was for the player who still wears dental braces and sports a new dyed-blond hairdo.

The 17-year-old struck the winner in Barcelona's 2-0 victory at crosstown rival Espanyol on Thursday when he slid past two defenders outside the area and whipped one his now trademark left-footed curlers into the corner of the net.

It was a perfect culmination to Yamal's last 10 months.
