CBSN
A 2-0 win on the road was enough to lift the trophy for the Spanish giants
Barcelona have officially won La Liga after beating Espanyol 2-0 on Thursday with Lamine Yamal scoring the winning goal. They've accomplished the feat with two games to spare, capping an excellent week that also included Sunday's win in El Clasico over rivals Barcelona. Barca have now captured the La Liga crown for the second time in the past three seasons, taking it back from Los Blancos.
This is the 28th league title for Barcelona, still eight off catching Real Madrid for the most in history at 36. Just like when they last won the title in 2022-23, Barcelona will got to celebrate while facing their local rivals Espanyol in league play. It's also Barcelona's first domestic treble since 2017-18 as they won the Spanish Super Cup and Copa del Rey.
In Flick's first season in charge, Barcelona became an attacking force, almost leading La Liga from wire to wire. They have 97 goals in league play, which are over 20 more than any other team has scored, while their plus-61 goal difference is almost double that of the second-best team. It has truly been a dominant performance by Barcelona this season, and they've been rewarded with the title.
