This victory marks Barcelona’s 28th league title, still falling short of Real Madrid’s historic 36 titles. Just like their last triumph in the 2022-23 season, Barcelona celebrated while facing Espanyol in league play. Furthermore, this is their first domestic treble since the 2017-18 season, having also won the Spanish Super Cup and Copa del Rey.
Under Flick’s management, Barcelona showcased their attacking prowess this season, achieving a remarkable 97 goals in league play, showcasing a goal difference of +61, nearly double that of the next best team. Players like Yamal, Lewandowski, Raphinha, and Ferran Torres were instrumental in their success, consistently contributing to the scoreline and showcasing their growth under Flick’s leadership.
Barcelona’s ambitions remain high as they aim to fulfill their Champions League dreams next season after an unfortunate exit in the semifinals this year against Inter.
