Barcelona now have a total of 28 LaLiga titles after securing a 2-0 win against Espanyol through the calm leadership of head coach Hansi Flick, who impressed on a crazy night at the RCDE Stadium.
Flick was quick to inform his players to leave the field as he noticed them celebrating on the pitch, avoiding a re-occurrence of what happened in 2023 when Espanyol fans invaded the pitch after Barça’s title win at the same ground.
Flick’s quick foresight was healed by Manolo González, the head coach of Espanyol, who called him “a gentleman” for defusing the situation.
The match was not without enough security on alert while sprinklers were on.
The match was played under too much pressure with chants of “Suspend the match” and a temporary pause after a fan emerged on the pitch.
This was after an incident that occurred outside the stadium where a car hit fans and injured more than 12.
Lamine Yamal netted the first goal and Fermín López scored the last goal, earning the Catalona giants the win late on after Leandro Cabrera was shown a red card for elbowing Yamal. Barcelona won the domestic treble in Flick’s first season.
