Barcelona won La Liga for the first time since 2019 by beating Espanyol 4-2 on Sunday, retrieving the title back from rivals Real Madrid.

The Catalan giants clinched their 27th Spanish championship at the home of their neighbors. Robert Lewandowski struck twice for Barcelona, along with goals for Alejandro Balde and Jules Kounde, while Espanyol's Javi Puado and Joselu scored two late goals for the hosts.

Barcelona have witnessed a troubled period on and off the pitch in recent years, but their recent win signals significant improvement, with coach Xavi Hernandez winning his first major trophy since taking over in November 2021.

Early Champions League elimination was a blow, but the club won the Spanish Super Cup in January against Real Madrid, before sealing La Liga glory with four games remaining.

"We sealed La Liga with a fantastic game, we were brilliant," he expressed.

Xavi's side celebrated at full-time, to the anger of Espanyol fans, who invaded the pitch, with Barcelona players sprinting down the tunnel to escape.
