Lionel Messi has congratulated Barcelona on social media following the confirmation of their 28th La Liga title on Thursday.
Barcelona wrapped up top spot in the Spanish top flight following their 2–0 victory over local rivals Espanyol, with Lamine Yamal starring in a title-winning triumph. The youngster scored a stunner and assisted a late goal for FermÃn López to secure all three points for La Blaugrana on the road.
Barcelona were close to winning La Liga on Wednesday evening but Real Madrid's 95th-minute winner at home to Mallorca forced them to wait another day. But the win over Espanyol moves Hansi Flick's side an insurmountable seven points clear of Los Blancos with two games to spare.
The Catalans have already claimed the Supercopa de España and Copa del Rey during Flick's debut season and came incredibly close to reaching the Champions League final. It's a campaign that Messi would have been proud of during his time at Barcelona.
