Barcelona have completed the domestic treble as they have now been officially crowned the champions of La Liga thanks to a 2-0 win away to city rivals Espanyol on Thursday night.
Young star winger Lamine Yamal scored and also bagged an assist as Barcelona landed their 28th league title.
The Blaugrana had taken a huge step towards lifting the title after defeating Real Madrid last weekend to open up a seven-point lead with three games left.
However, Real Madrid secured a 2-1 win over Mallorca at the Santiago Bernabeu on Wednesday, reducing the gap to four points.
It meant that Barcelona had to win tonight’s Catalan derby against Espanyol to lift the title with two games to be played.
