FC Barcelona is the champion of Spain! A cosmic goal and the hero Szczęsny

Before the match even really started, shocking events took place outside the stadium. As a result of clashes between security services and uniformed services and fans, several people were injured. Worse still, a car driven by an elderly person – as reported by Spanish media (including “Marca”) – drove into a crowd of people. The images that appeared before the derby began were truly terrifying .

FC Barcelona with the Spanish championship. Poles played in a checkered manner

As for the events on the pitch, the first half was a bit disappointing. The visitors, who could have already celebrated the championship title if they had won, didn't push the pace particularly hard. From the first minute on the pitch, Polish fans could see the Polish duo, Robert Lewandowski in attack and Wojciech Szczęsny in goal. The presence of the former, who returned for good after a recent injury, was especially pleasing.

RL9 will not remember Thursday's derby fondly, however. The Pole was given over an hour of play by Hansi Flick, but during that time he was unable to get on the scoresheet. Lewandowski had two opportunities in the first half of the match, but he was unable to get even a shot on target on the goal of the lower-rated opponent.

Perhaps for this reason, also remembering the health of RL9, the Barca coach took him off the pitch in the 65th minute. There are many indications that such a match without a goal may decide about losing the chances for the crown of the top scorer in LaLiga. Kylian Mbappe has a three-goal advantage over the Pole with two rounds to go.

Szczęsny, on the other hand, put in a much better performance. Thanks to the Pole, Barcelona actually managed to stay ahead of the hosts until half-time.

The Polish goalkeeper impressed with his calmness and certainty. Espanyol did not bombard Barcelona's goal, but the fact is that if there was a threat, Szczęsny was there. Playing high, often as the last defender, outside the penalty area. But when necessary, Szczęsny could also play very well, alertly, near the goal line.

And speaking of bombs, Lamine Yamal and his goal completely stole the show. Lionel Messi's successor did it again. The Spaniard sealed the title for Barcelona in the best possible way in the 53rd minute.

Yamal also caused the hosts to finish the match short-handed. Leandro Cabrera received a red card. The opponent of the great Spaniard clearly did not want to lose the duel with the teenager again. The punch in the chest area was caught on camera and after consulting VAR, the referee sent off the Espanyol player.

The destruction was completed by Fermin Lopez, in injury time – after an assist from Yamal. It was Lopez who came onto the pitch for Lewandowski. Barcelona, ​​just like in 2023, sealed the title on the territory of their biggest rival. This is the 28th Spanish championship in the history of the Pride of Catalonia.
