Ten special photographs of ten crucial moments of Barça's League

BarcelonaBarça is once again the league champion. In his second season as a Blaugrana, Hansi Flick has achieved a historic feat that fills Barcelonism with pride: putting the ribbon on the League in front of Real Madrid and, what's more, in a Camp Nou packed to the rafters and which was a party even before the start of the match. Barça is once again leading the championship. Below, 10 highlights from the journey to re-edit the title.

1. Winning the League in front of Real Madrid

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

2. The return to Camp Nou

Almost 1,150 days later, a classic was played again at Camp Nou. The return to the stadium occurred 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 a league match there since the return.

3. The defeat in the classic in Madrid

The season ended with a happy ending and a historic triumph 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 fell (2-1) against Real Madrid, still under Xabi Alonso, and was five points behind the leaders. Barça would turn the situation around completely.

4. Joan Garcia's return to the RCDE Stadium

This League will also be Joan Garcia's League. In his first year as a Barcelona player, he will win the Zamora Trophy as the least-conceded goalkeeper in the League. Joan had to live through a complicated moment when he had to go and 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. At his old home, he played like an angel. Espanyol has not won since that day.

5. Life without Lamine Yamal

Barça had to seal the League without Lamine Yamal, who was injured against Celta after scoring from a penalty. From Madrid, some wanted to see some glimmer of opportunity, but the Blaugranas responded by winning away in complicated venues like Getafe (0-2) and El Sadar (1-2) and putting the bow on the championship in the Clàssic.

6. Cancelo's arrival

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

7. Gerard Martín's revelation

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

8. The 'signings' of Marc Bernal and Gavi

An untimely ankle sprain that he suffered on April 4 in the league match of the trilogy of games against Atlètic de Madrid halted the progress of Marc Bernal, who, once his knee problems were overcome, once again won over the fans, especially in March. The footballer already knows what it's like to score at Camp Nou. The same with Gavi, a regular starter in the recent matches where the championship was decided and playing at a high level.

9. A key victory for the League in Madrid

The same day that Marc Bernal got injured, Barça secured a key victory to make it clear that this League would end up being dyed 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 prudence 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.
