BARCELONA - Barcelona clinched the Spanish La Liga title on May 15 for the 28th time in the club's history, but only the second occasion in the last six years.

Hansi Flick's hugely entertaining side beat Espanyol 2-0 to take the crown with two matches to spare.

Here are the ways the German helped the Catalan giants reclaim the Spanish throne from rivals Real Madrid.

AWESOME ATTACK Barcelona scored 97 goals in 36 games to power to the title, 23 more than second-placed Real.

A 7-0 thrashing of Real Valladolid in August set out their intentions, and they hit four goals or more in 13 league matches.

The brilliant Lamine Yamal - still only 17 - excelled, feeding veteran striker Robert Lewandowski and dynamic winger Raphinha.

The teenager provided the most assists in La Liga with 13, while Lewandowski notched 25 goals and Raphinha got 18 while setting up nine himself.

Flick's high defensive line has been a key feature of the team's approach, which sometimes costs them at the back, but largely keeps opponents under pressure, including Madrid in the Clasico on May 11.
