Ten special photographs of ten crucial moments of the Barça League

BarcelonaBarça is once again the League champion. In his second season as a Blaugrana, Hansi Flick has achieved a historic feat that fills Barça fans with pride: to put the finishing touch to the League against Real Madrid and, moreover, in a packed Camp Nou that was a party even before the start of the match. Barça is back in command of the championship. Below, 10 highlights from the journey to re-edit the title.

1. Winning the League right under Real Madrid's nose

With an early spectacular free-kick goal from Marcus Rashford, Barça began a triumph that was as historic (2-0) as it was decisive: never before had they clinched the League title against Real Madrid, and furthermore, in the first 'clásico' at the new Camp Nou.

2. The return to Camp Nou

Almost 1,150 days later, a classic was played again at the Camp Nou. The return to the stadium took place on November 22, in front of 45,157 fans, on a special day when the team thrashed (4-0) Athletic Club. The stadium would be a fortress: the team has not lost any league match since the return.

3. The defeat in the classic in Madrid

The season has ended with a happy ending and a triumph that will go down in history against the eternal rival, at home, but the beginnings of the second season with Hansi Flick at the helm of the bench were not easy. At the Santiago Bernabéu, with Wojciech Szczęsny -Joan was injured- in goal, the team lost (2-1) against Xabi Alonso's Real Madrid and was five points behind the top spots. Barça would turn the situation completely around.

4. Joan Garcia's return to the RCDE Stadium

This League will also be Joan Garcia's League. In his first year as a blaugrana, he will win the Zamora Trophy as the goalkeeper with the fewest goals conceded in the League. Joan had to go through a complicated moment, when he had to go play at the RCDE Stadium, the stadium where he made a name for himself in the elite and where he has become persona non grata after signing for Barça. In his old home, he played like an angel. Since that day, Espanyol has not won.

5. Life without Lamine Yamal

Barça had to seal the League without Lamine Yamal, who was injured against Celta after scoring a penalty. From Madrid, some wanted to see a crack of opportunity, but the blaugranas responded by winning away in difficult grounds like Getafe (0-2) and El Sadar (1-2) and putting the finishing touch to the championship in the classic.

6. Cancelo's arrival

A center-back, Christensen, got injured, and a full-back, Cancelo, arrived, returning to Barça on loan. This time, from Al-Hilal. Since Balde got injured against Atlético de Madrid in the second leg of the Copa semi-finals, the Portuguese player has made the left-back position his own with very convincing performances.

7. Gerard Martín's Revelation

The same day that Barça returned to Camp Nou, on November 22, against Athletic Club, Gerard Martín played his first match as a left-sided center-back starting. Since then, he has become a regular in this position, proving he is a great player. Furthermore, it has allowed Cubarsí to return to playing on the right side of the central defense.

8. The 'signings' of Marc Bernal and Gavi

An unfortunate ankle sprain that he suffered on April 4th in the league match of the trilogy of games against Atlético de Madrid halted the progression of Marc Bernal, who, once his knee problems were overcome, once again captivated the fans, especially in March. The footballer already knows what it is like to score at Camp Nou. The same goes for Gavi, a regular starter in the last games in which the championship was decided and playing at a high level.

9. A key triumph for La Liga in Madrid

The same day that Marc Bernal got injured, Barça secured a key triumph to make it clear that this League would end up tinged with blaugrana with a victory (1-2) at the Metropolitano. In this way, Hansi Flick's team took advantage of Real Madrid's slip-up - the Whites lost 2-1 in Mallorca - and strengthened their lead.

10. Hansi Flick announces he will renew with Barça

Before playing against Celta, in the press conference prior to the match in which Lamine Yamal would get injured, Hansi Flick surprised by abandoning his usual caution in press conferences to make a declaration of love for the club and say that, beyond next season, he plans to renew his contract with Barça. "I want to win the Champions League with Barça," he said.
