After the game, the lawn spray system is turned on, and Espanyol strives to stop Barcelona from celebrating the championship

In the early morning of May 16, 2025, Barcelona defeated Espanyol 2-0 away and won the La Liga 2024/25 season championship two rounds ahead of schedule. However, the home team and the stadium tried every means to interrupt Barcelona's celebration. When the game reached the 90th and 5th minute of stoppage time, Rafinia gave an assist, and Fermin Lopez pushed the ball to score, locking the score to 2-0. With this victory, Barcelona successfully crowned the new La Liga champion and became the well-deserved champion of this season.

When the whistle rang, Barcelona players hugged each other excitedly, preparing to start their own championship celebration at their opponent's home court. However, a group of Espanyol players rushed forward and provoked, trying to provoke the conflict.

What is even more surprising is that the managers of the RCDE stadium actually activated the midfield squirt system, making the lawn slippery, forcing Barcelona players to continue celebrating on the court.

Faced with this situation, Barcelona decided to postpone the on-site celebration and planned to wait until the next round of home match against Villarreal, and then celebrate the championship with the fans.

In addition, on-site security has also increased its vigilance. As early as 2023, Barcelona ordered the championship to win the championship in the same field, but at that time Espanyol had just been relegated, and hundreds of angry fans rushed into the field to chase and beat Barcelona players and destroy the stadium facilities.

In this game, Yamal, who was only 17 years old, became a Barcelona hero again. He not only scored a wonderful world wave of the arc ball, but also contributed an assist. Throughout the season, the Spanish star participated in 21 goals (8 goals and 13 assists) in La Liga, and directly participated in 33 goals (17 goals and 16 assists) in all competitions.

As Barcelona achieves the "triple crown" of domestic competitions (La Liga, Copa del Rey, Spanish Super Cup), Yamal has also jumped to one of the popular candidates for the 2025 Golden Globe Awards.
