Barcelona clinched the LaLiga title on Thursday with a 2-0 win at city rivals Espanyol to cap a stellar season during Hansi Flick’s first season in charge.
Rivals Real Madrid beat Mallorca 2-1 at the Santiago Bernabéu on Wednesday to cut Barcelona’s lead to four points, but the win for Flick’s side put them seven points clear with two games left to play to seal the title.
After a scoreless first half, Lamine Yamal opened the scoring shortly after the break with another amazing goal, cutting in from the right wing and unleashing a trademark left-footed shot that flew into the top corner to give Barcelona the lead.
Soon after, Leandro Cabrera was sent off for elbowing Yamal in the stomach, leaving Espanyol with 10 players for the rest of the game and Barcelona added a second goal late on to close out the victory.

Flick replaced Xavi Hernández last summer after a trophyless campaign and had already led Barça to success in the Spanish Supercopa and the Copa del Rey, beating Madrid in both finals.
The league title completes a domestic treble in what has proved a memorable debut campaign in Spain for the German coach, including four wins over rivals Real Madrid.
