Barcelona were on Thursday night confirmed champions of La Liga, after they defeated local rivals Espanyol 2-0.

Lamine Yamal was again the talisman for the Catalans, as they lifted their 28th league title.

Yamal curled an unstoppable effort past Joan Garcia to open the scoring in the second half.

The 17-year-old then teed up Fermin Lopez for a second goal late in the match.

The win means that Real Madrid can no longer catch Barca at the top of the table, as they are now seven points clear with two matches left.

Hansi Flick’s men have now completed a superb domestic treble.

The Catalan club had already won the Spanish Super Cup and the Copa del Rey ahead of Real Madrid this season.

However, Barcelona were eliminated from the UEFA Champions League at the hands of Inter Milan.

It is also their second title in six years.

Barcelona could have sealed their title triumph on Wednesday night, but Real Madrid scored a 95th-minute winner against Mallorca to delay the inevitable.

Meanwhile Real Madrid have congratulated Barcelona for the victory, promising to come back stronger next season
