Barcelona wins the La Liga championship for the seventh consecutive time.

Barcelona officially defended the La Liga crown four matches ahead of schedule following a straightforward win against their city rival Espanyol.

Barcelona officially clinched the women's La Liga title for the seventh consecutive time four rounds early after a 4-1 victory over their city rival Espanyol at the Ciutat Esportiva Dani Jarque stadium.

Carla Julia Martinez, Caroline Graham Hansen, and a double from young forward Martine Fenger secured the win for the Catalan team.

This victory gives coach Pere Romeu's team 75 points after 26 matches, leading second-place Real Madrid by 16 points. Even if Real wins all remaining five matches, they can only reach a maximum of 74 points.

This is Barcelona's 10th championship win in the league, double that of any other team in Spain. Athletic Bilbao ranks second with five titles.

On their path to the title, Alexia Putellas and her teammates only dropped points once, when they unexpectedly lost to Real Sociedad in October. Nevertheless, their superiority over the rest remains undeniable, especially with victories in both home and away matches against Real Madrid in the El Clasico fixtures.

In recent seasons, the Real Madrid women's team showed signs of narrowing the gap, finishing eight points behind and losing only two matches last season. However, this season they could not maintain that consistency.

Barcelona, who also won the Spanish Super Cup in January, now aim for a second quadruple in history, following their first in the 2023/24 season. They will face Atletico Madrid in the Queen's Cup final on May 16 and hope to compete in the Champions League final the following weekend in Oslo.

To achieve this, Barcelona must first overcome Bayern Munich in the Champions League semifinals, with the first leg taking place in Germany this weekend. In the other semifinal, Arsenal will face Lyon.

Meanwhile, their male counterparts are also aiming for a second consecutive La Liga title. A minimal victory over Celta Vigo in round 32 allowed coach Hansi Flick's team to reestablish a nine-point lead over their arch-rival Real Madrid.

This season, the Catalan club secured the Spanish Super Cup title after a thrilling 3-2 victory over Real. Meanwhile, they have lost their chances in the King's Cup and the Champions League.
