FC Barcelona secured the 2024–25 La Liga title with a decisive 2–0 win against local rivals Espanyol at the RCDE Stadium on Thursday, 15 May 2025. The victory ensured Barcelona claimed the championship with two matches left to play, extending their lead at the top of the table beyond reach.
The match featured an early goal from 17-year-old sensation Lamine Yamal, who continued his remarkable breakout season. FermÃn López added a second in stoppage time, sealing the triumph and confirming Barcelona's 28th La Liga title. This success marks their first league crown under head coach Hansi Flick, who took charge earlier in the season following his tenure with Bayern Munich.
However, the celebrations were not without controversy. Espanyol staff activated the stadium's sprinklers during Barcelona’s on-pitch celebrations, seemingly in an attempt to disrupt the festivities. Additionally, a brief confrontation occurred between Espanyol players and Barcelona substitutes, prompting Hansi Flick to intervene and usher his team back into the dressing room.
Earlier in the day, a separate incident outside the stadium saw a vehicle accidentally drive into a group of fans, causing several injuries. Authorities confirmed that the incident was accidental, resulting from the driver losing control of the vehicle.
Despite the off-field distractions, Barcelona’s triumph capped off a dominant campaign defined by the emergence of young talent, tactical discipline, and strong leadership from their new manager.
