Barcelona won La Liga 4 rounds early! Breaking Mad

On May 15th, Beijing time, in the 34th round of La Liga, Barcelona defeated Espanyol 4-2 away, winning the La Liga championship four times ahead of schedule, marking the first league championship in four years.

Strong lead, 3 wins over Real Madrid Atletico Madrid

Last November, Barcelona reached the top of the La Liga table for the first time after the end of the 13th round, and then led Real Madrid by 2 points before the start of the World Cup. From then on, they led the way strongly and never let the leading sheep's throne fall.

In the direct competition between competitors, the Red and Blue Legion also proved the strength of the champion. In the first round of the national derby, although they lost 1-3 at the Bernabeu, they returned to Camp Nou in the second round and successfully avenged 2-1, winning the "6-point battle"; Two rounds against Atletico Madrid also achieved a complete victory.

In the end, Barcelona accumulated 85 points in 34 rounds, leading the second place Real Madrid by 14 points, and won La Liga 4 rounds ahead of schedule. Although their offensive firepower was not as strong as Real Madrid, their defense was quite solid, and they only conceded 11 goals in 34 rounds. If not unexpected, they will definitely break the record of La Liga's lowest conceded goals in a single season - the 18 goals held by La Coruna in the 1993-94 season and Atletico Madrid in the 2015-16 season.

First Champions League in 4 years, breaking the Madrid monopoly

Since the 2018-19 season, Barcelona has finally regained the La Liga championship, completing their first championship in four years, finally breaking the monopoly of the Madrid duo: Real Madrid won the championship in the 2019-20 season, Atletico Madrid in the 2020-21 season, and Real Madrid in the 2021-22 season.

Meanwhile, this is also the 27th La Liga championship in Barcelona's history, the second most in history, second only to Real Madrid's 35th championship. The third is Atletico Madrid, which won 11, followed by Athletic Bilbao, which won 8, and Valencia, which won 6.

From various competitions, Barcelona has won 98 championships in their history, second only to Real Madrid's 101 championships: 27 La Liga championships, 31 Copa del Rey, 14 Spanish Super Cups, 2 Spanish League Cups, 3 Eva Duarte Cups, 5 Champions League, 4 Winners' Cups, 2 Expo Cups, 5 European Super Cups, 3 Club Cups, and 2 Latin Cups.

Post Messi era+Harvey era La Liga crown

One of the biggest contributors to Barcelona's championship is undoubtedly Xavi. During his time as a player, he won 25 championships for the Red and Blue Legion, including 8 La Liga titles. He returned to coaching Barcelona in November 2011 and now holds the La Liga and La Liga titles. In this way, Harvey became the fifth player and coach in team history to win La Liga, following Samitie, Cruyff, Guardiola, and Enrique!

Of course, this is also Barcelona's first La Liga championship after Messi's departure. If the player cannot return to Camp Nou this summer, then the "post Messi era" can be considered a good start.

For Busquets, this is also a perfect farewell. After 15 years of playing for Barcelona, he won 33 championships, surpassing Iniesta, who won 32 championships, and ranking second in team history after Messi, who won 35 championships.

However, despite regaining the La Liga championship, Barcelona's future is still full of doubts. They must meet the requirements of the La Liga league next season, otherwise they cannot register new players, which is also the biggest obstacle to Messi's return.
