- Barça’s 28th title caps fine debut season for Hansi Flick
- Lamine Yamal scores stunner in 2-0 win over local rivals
Barcelona have been crowned Spanish champions for a 28th time after a 2-0victory over Espanyol on Thursday evening. The win means Barça have an unassailable lead at the top of La Liga. They are seven points clear of Real Madrid with only two games left to play.
Fittingly, the win was sparked by a screamer from Lamine Yamal, Barça’s talisman this season, who cut inside from the right before unleashing a curling shot beyond the reach of the Espanyol goalkeeper, Joan García. To make matters worse for the hosts, Leandro Cabrera was sent off late on for lashing out at the 17-year-old before, deep into injury time, Fermín López added a second goal.
