Barcelona secured the 2024-25 LaLiga title on 15 May 2025 by beating local rivals Espanyol 2-0 in the Catalan derby, played at Espanyol's stadium in Cornellà. The result left them out of reach of Real Madrid with two matches still to play.
It was the club's second league title in three seasons, after the 2022-23 triumph under Xavi. This one came in the first season of German coach Hansi Flick, who took over in the summer of 2024 and built an attacking side with a high defensive line. It was powered by Robert Lewandowski's goals and a young core including Lamine Yamal, Pedri and Raphinha.
The league title was part of a strong domestic campaign: Barcelona also won the Spanish Super Cup and the Copa del Rey, beating Real Madrid in both finals. The title mattered as a sign of recovery after a turbulent period of financial strain and squad rebuilding, and it set the standard for the following season, in which the club defended its crown.
