Barcelona win the Spanish La Liga title for the 27th time

Barcelona won Spain's La Liga for the first time since 2019 by thrashing Espanyol 4-2 on Sunday, wrestling the title from rivals Real Madrid. The Catalan giants clinched their 27th Spanish championship with an emphatic derby victory, with Robert Lewandowski scoring twice, alongside Alejandro Balde and Jules Kounde's goals. The title celebrations were short-lived, though, as players had to rush into the locker room after a large group of Espanyol fans invaded the field from behind one of the goals and started running toward the Barcelona players who were singing and celebrating in the center. Security guards quickly intervened but riot police had to stand in front of the tunnel’s entrance to prevent the fans from going in. Alejandro Balde and Jules Koundé also scored for Barcelona, which now has 27 league titles, eight fewer than Real Madrid. Barcelona has officially crowned the Spanish League title for the 27th time in its history, as it occupies the top of the standings table with 85 points, 14 points behind runner-up Real Madrid, with only 4 matches remaining.

Barcelona's lineup against Espanyol is as follows:

Goalkeepers: Ter Stegen Defenders: Conde, Araujo, Christensen, Baldi 
Midfielders: Busquets, De Jong, Pedri 
Forwards: Ravenha, Lewandowski, Javi.
