FC Barcelona crowns a master - Yamal leads the leaders to victory!

Barcelona, Spanien - On May 16, 2025, FC Barcelona crowned itself in the city derby against Espanyol Barcelona to the Spanish football champion of the 2024/25 season. With a clear 2-0 win, Barcelona secured the title two game days before the end when it held seven points ahead of Real Madrid. The victory was decisively shaped by Lamine Yamal, who scored the first goal in the second half and was also significantly involved in the second goal.

The first half was extremely tough for the Catalans. Despite several attempts by Robert Lewandowski and the entire offensive, the game remained 0-0. However, goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny showed a strong performance and prevented with some parades that Espanyol took the lead. The hosts, who also had opportunities through Gonzalez de Zarate and Javi Puado, could not use these opportunities.

The turning played in the 53rd minute when Yamal scored the first goal for Barcelona after a precise pass from Dani Olmo.
