Barcelona Fans Flood Plaça Catalunya After Clinching 2025/2026 La Liga Title
Supporters mark the 2-0 win over Real Madrid that clinched the 2025/2026 championship while the club confirms Ansu Fati's exit to Monaco.
How we reported this
Thousands of FC Barcelona fans gathered in Plaça Catalunya to celebrate the team's 2-0 win over Real Madrid, which secured the La Liga title. The gathering followed the decisive match at Camp Nou, where the result lifted Barcelona to the top of the table and ended the season as champions.
Title Win Sets Up El Clásico Record Chance
The victory leaves Barcelona one win away from leveling the all-time El Clásico record at 106-105. The club had already beaten Real Madrid in three finals this season. Real Madrid's Kylian Mbappé missed the clásico at Camp Nou due to a hamstring injury, a detail noted in match reports from the period. Barcelona finished the 2025/2026 La Liga season first with 73 points from 24 wins, one loss and four draws.
Barcelona's most significant result in that campaign was a 6-0 victory over Valencia on Sunday, September 14, 2025. The side also recorded a 4-0 win against Athletic Bilbao and a 3-1 win against Elche CF during the run that delivered the title.
Ansu Fati Transfer and Registration Issues
FC Barcelona confirmed Ansu Fati's permanent transfer to Monaco, ending his 14-year journey with the club. The move comes while the club faces ongoing player registration hurdles that leave four players ineligible for La Liga matches as transfer negotiations continue.
With La Liga and the UEFA Champions League in their summer off-season as of July 14, 2026, no competitive matches have been played recently. Barcelona's next scheduled fixture is a club friendly against CE Europa de Barcelona on Friday, July 24, 2026, at 12:00 PM. The club will use the coming weeks to resolve registration matters ahead of the new campaign.
