Barcelona’s players celebrate winning their 27th Spanish league championship after the Spanish league football match between RCD Espanyol and FC Barcelona at†the RCDE Stadium in Cornella de Llobregat on May 14, 2023. – Barcelona won Spain’s La Liga for the first time since 2019 by thrashing Espanyol 4-2 today, wrestling the title from rivals Real Madrid.
Barcelona have endured a troubled period on and off the pitch in recent years but their triumph signals significant improvement, with coach Xavi Hernandez winning his first major trophy since taking over in November 2021. “It was a very emotional moment, a moment very hard not to celebrate after so many months of work,” said Xavi.The coach said that the victory was proof that the club was heading in the right direction.“I am very happy. We did a great job, a league won with four games remaining, that’s to the absolute merit of the team.”
Barcelona took the lead through Lewandowski, finishing from close range after a fine Alejandro Balde assist. The Polish striker’s arrival from Bayern Munich was a key part of last summer’s rebuild and despite a dip in the second half of the season, has paid the Catalans back in goals. Barcelona goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen denied Puado when through on goal, determined to earn a La Liga record-equalling 26th clean sheet of the season in the top flight.
