A league celebration dedicated to Hansi Flick: "We are a family"

BarcelonaBarça culminated a historic night to remember. The 2-0 victory allows the azulgranas to conquer the 29th league title in their history, the second consecutive one since Hansi Flick's arrival at the bench. The Camp Nou experienced a night full of joy in what was a celebration from the first moment. Rashford and Ferran Torres put the score at 2-0 right at the start of the match against a Real Madrid that closed a week to forget —with internal fights included— watching how their eternal rival won (and lifted) the league right in front of them.

The Camp Nou —which witnessed the first title celebration after the renovation— erupted with "champions" chants in the final minutes of the match, while the Barcelona players on the bench joined in, jumping from the sidelines. Lamine Yamal, who couldn't be on the field due to injury, also put on the Barcelona jersey before going out to celebrate with his teammates on the pitch, as fireworks lit up the Barcelona sky.

Pau Cubarsí led the chants with the fan stand. The center-back from Estanyol grabbed the megaphone to sing the "match day" while Raphinha accompanied him with the drum. After the match, Hansi Flick —lifted by his players— admitted that it had been a difficult day for him after the loss of his father.

A few minutes later, Rafael Louzán —president of the Spanish Federation— and Javier Tebas —top leader of La Liga— led the presentation of the league title on the pitch, along with Joan Laporta —president-elect—, Rafa Yuste —Barça president— and Joan Soteras —top leader of the Catalan Federation—. Ronald Araujo was in charge of lifting the champions' trophy while the chant of the 125th anniversary played over the loudspeaker. "Never in history has the league been won against Real Madrid. It has been very beautiful and now it's time to celebrate it with family and friends," said Pedri.

Catalunya Square takes over from Canaletes

With the Canaletas fountain area cut off due to works, hundreds of culés have gathered in Plaça Catalunya to celebrate the League title. Some with pineapples, in reference to Álvaro Arbeloa's bad name, much merriment, flares, and energy to celebrate in grand style the championship won right under Real Madrid's noses.

Araujo shows his integration

After the first celebrations, Ronald Araujo was in charge of opening the round of speeches as captain. The Uruguayan —who delivered part of the speech in Catalan— highlighted the team's character. "It has been a year of hard work and effort with good and bad moments. We have a very young team, but with a lot of talent and courage. We are sure that great moments will come," expressed Araujo, who closed it with a "long live Barça and long live Catalonia".

Hansi Flick used the same phrase to close his speech, which began with a "good evening culés" and in which he thanked the support of the president, coaching staff, and players after a tough day for him. The German coach, who did not want to elaborate much to continue celebrating, addressed the fans in English before starting the lap of honor under a light show at Camp Nou. The first congratulations were not long in coming, and one of the most notable (and anticipated) was from Leo Messi, who posted a story on Instagram with "champions" and "viva el Barça".

The street through Barcelona

The celebrations don't stop and this Monday afternoon Barça will celebrate the league with the traditional parade through the streets of the Catalan capital. The bus with the players and the coaching staff will leave Camp Nou starting at 5:00 PM and will advance along Travessera de les Corts to Numancia street. Afterwards, it will continue along Berlin street and Paris street until reaching Balmes. From there, the entourage will go down to Gran Vía de les Corts Catalanes and will travel in the direction of the city center to Passeig de Gràcia. The parade will continue up Passeig de Gràcia to the height of La Pedrera (Casa Milà). The return journey will be made along Provenza street to Aribau, connecting again with Paris street and Sarrià avenue until reaching Travessera de les Corts, where it will end at Camp Nou.
