Yamal's super goal and Fermin's one decide the derby - Barcelona is declared champion of Spain for the 2024/25 season

Barcelona has secured the La Liga title for the 2024/25 season, after a 2-0 victory in the Catalan derby against Espanyol, as part of the 36th week of the Spanish championship.

The hero of the evening was teenager Lamine Yamal, who in the opening minutes of the second half unleashed a spectacular shot from distance, sending the ball into the corner of the goal and sealing the fate of the match.

This was another magical moment from the 17-year-old talent, who is proving to be the future of the Catalan club.


Despite first-half pressure from Espanyol, who threatened through Urko Gonzales and Javi Puado, they failed to score. Barcelona, ​​while not dominant, showed composure and efficiency when given the chance.

Espanyol were reduced to 10 men in the 80th minute after defender Leandro Cabrera was sent off, making the score even easier for the visitors.

Fermin Lopez scored in extra time to complete a 2-0 victory over the local rivals.

The victory gives Barcelona 85 points, seven more than the closest follower, Real Madrid, with only two games left.

Thus, the team led by Hansi Flick regains the title at "Camp Nou", leaving behind a difficult and challenging season.

Among the champions this season, names such as Yamal, Pedri, Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha, Frenkie de Jong, Pau Cubarsi and others shone.

Barcelona not only secures the 28th trophy in La Liga history, but also sends a clear message to its rivals: the club is back at the top and ready for a new cycle of success. /telegraph/
