Transcript

00:00Barcelona clinched their 28th La Liga title as teenage wonder La Main Yamal scored another

00:05stunning goal in a derby win at Espanyol. The 17-year-old curled a fantastic shot into the

00:10top-left corner from the edge of the box to confirm his side as champions. With two games

00:16to go, they hold an unassailable seven-point advantage over second-placed Real Madrid.

00:21Firmin Lopez added a second goal deep into injury time from Yamal's pass.

00:26The game, though, was paused for a short time and the first half as news emerged of an incident

00:31outside. A car drove into fans, with 13 people injured and four taken to hospital, but none

00:37were said to be in a serious condition. Play restarted soon after Embarca claimed the decisive

00:42opener in the 53rd minute. It was Yamal's 17th goal of a season in which he has cemented his place as

00:49one of the world's most exciting players of any age. Espanyol had defender Leandro Cabrera sent off

00:55with 10 minutes left for lashing out with his arm to strike Yamal as they challenged for the ball.

01:00Having already won the Copa del Rey in Spanish Super Cup, the title success confirmed a clean

01:05sweep of domestic trophies for Hansi Flick in his first season as Barcelona head coach.

01:10His side also beat Real Madrid in both domestic cup finals, having won all four Clasico meetings

01:15this season. We've always thought positively and we could feel it looking at training sessions.

01:20At Barca you have to win titles and three titles is just great, Flick told Movistar+.

01:26It's always important to be mentally strong. That is what we looked for throughout the year.

01:33Winning the Super Cup in January gave us confidence. It was great to see how the players have reached

01:39their highest level and others have improved. Barcelona, who also reached the Champions League

01:44semi-finals where they lost to Inter Milan in a dramatic encounter, were deserved champions with

01:49169 goals in all competitions. They were seconds away from triumphing the previous day until Real

01:56Madrid scored an injury-time winner against Mallorca. The Catalans needed to beat Espanyol to be sure of

02:02the title but had to ride their luck a bit with Erco Gonzalez and Javi Poado missing chances for the hosts.

02:08But Jamal was the hero, not for the first time, with a trademark finish from Dani Almo's pass.

02:13He then provided the assist for Lopez's deflected finish just before the end.

02:19In a quirk, Barca have been confirmed as champions at Espanyol's ground more times than at home in the

02:2421st century. They also won it at Espanyol themselves in 2023, while a Real Madrid draw at the RCDE

02:31stadium in 2013 ended the title race that year in Barcelona's favour. They have only won two league

02:37titles at the Nou Camp since the 1990s. There was a slight melee between the players at the final

02:43whistle as Barca started to celebrate, with ground staff turning the sprinklers on to get

02:48the visiting team off the pitch. When they won at the same ground two years ago, the Barca players

02:53had to race to the dressing room as Espanyol fans ran on to the pitch at the end.

02:58Barcelona will have an open-top bus parade in the city on Friday and receive the trophy at.
