Barcelona beat Espanyol 2-0 on Thursday to seal their Spanish title with two games remaining. The win over their local rivals leaves the Catalan giants seven points clear of second-placed Real Madrid. The players began celebrating after the final whistle.

Wojciech Szczęsny also celebrated, having unexpectedly become one of the most important figures in the Barcelona squad during the season. Our goalkeeper came out of retirement to replace the injured Marc-Andre ter Stegen in goal for the Pride of Catalonia. Although he needed some time to make his debut, he performed very well almost from the very beginning.

After the match , a photo of Szczęsny appeared on Barcelona's Instagram , which quickly became a hit on the web. It shows the Polish goalie sitting in the locker room, smoking a champion cigar. It is not only a reference to Szczęsny's addiction, but also a celebration of the championship, modeled on that which is popular in, among others, the NBA.

“Iconic,” Barcelona wrote under the photo, which has already garnered over 1.3 million likes in just a few hours.

Even before the match with Espanyol, it was known that only a win would secure the Spanish championship for Barcelona. Any other result would mean that any celebrations would have to be postponed until at least the next round. However, nothing of the sort happened – Barcelona won 2-0, with goals from Lamine Yamal and Fermin Lopez.

Now, Szczęsny has important decisions to make. Despite an offer from Barcelona, ​​he is still not sure whether he will stay at the club for another season . "Now is probably the right time to talk to the club about it, because the club is willing. I hope I won't play until the end of the season, so I can focus on other things," he said in an interview with Eleven Sports.
