Busquets last title
The azulgranas will receive the trophy that accredits them as champions in their stadium next Saturday in their matchday 35 match against Real Sociedad.
It will be the occasion for captain Sergio Busquets to lift his last title with the Barça shirt after announcing on Wednesday that he will leave the club at the end of a season that suggests the resurgence of Barça, winner of the title with authority.
The azulgrana team, which chained its fourth victory in the last five league games, leads the championship with a 14-point advantage over Real Madrid, from which it took the lead before the World Cup break to never give it up again.
The title comes to be quite a balm after four years of crossing the desert with several changes of coaches, extra-sports scandals and disappointing sporting results, including two consecutive eliminations in the Champions League group stage.
The coach Xavi Hernández, with this League and a Spanish Super Cup, has been able to begin to confirm in his first full season at the helm of the Barça team the illusions placed on him when he signed as coach in 2021.
successful transfers
The signing of Xavi was completed last summer with additions such as Lewandowski, Koundé or the Brazilian winger Raphinha.
Joined by homegrown players Gavi and Pedri, or the Frenchman Ousmane Dembélé, the Barça coach has managed to put together a group that has brought a smile back to the ‘culé’ fan and to the board headed by president Joan Laporta, who had been elected in 2021 with the hope of returning Barça to its best days.
This 27th League could be confirmation that the Barca team is on the right track and face the challenges of next season with the best willingness, such as the move to the Montjuïc Olympic stadium due to the works at the Camp Nou.
A move that will have to be seen if it is accompanied by a return of Lionel Messi, with whom Barca fans dream after several statements by club officials that fueled those hopes.
Barcelona bagged the title, but the League continues with tough battles for European places and especially to avoid relegation to the Second Division.
In the fight not to go down, Valencia got some air this Sunday by beating Celta 2-1, another team immersed in the struggle.
Valladolid, which is just one point from the relegation places, also fell 3-0 to Sevilla, while bottom club Elche surprised by beating Atlético Madrid 1-0.
