Barcelona secured their 28th La Liga championship with a commanding 2-0 victory against local rivals Espanyol, mathematically claiming the title with two rounds still remaining in the season.

The triumph adds another prestigious trophy to Barcelona's impressive cabinet, though they remain second in the all-time Spanish championship rankings behind Real Madrid's 36 titles.

This season marks a special achievement for the Catalan giants, who have completed a domestic treble by winning La Liga, the Copa del Rey, and the Spanish Super Cup. This remarkable feat has only occurred once before in the club's storied history, during the 2008/09 campaign.

According to Statbet analytics, Barcelona's dominant season puts them among the most efficient title-winning sides in recent La Liga history.

The 'Blaugrana' have now secured the league and cup double nine times, with their previous league-cup combination coming in the 2017/18 season.

In an interesting coincidence, this marks the second consecutive time Barcelona has clinched the championship at their cross-town rivals' stadium, with the previous instance occurring during the 2022/23 season in matchday 34.

The title also represents a significant achievement for head coach Hansi Flick, who becomes only the second German manager to win La Liga. The first was Bernd Schuster, who guided Real Madrid to the championship in the 2007/08 season.

With this victory, Barcelona continues to cement their legacy as one of Spain's most successful football institutions, adding another glorious chapter to their rich history.
