Lionel Messi Cheers on Barcelona as They Clinch La Liga Title
Lionel Messi, the former captain of FC Barcelona, took a moment to celebrate his old club after they secured the 2024-2025 La Liga championship. Now playing for Inter Miami, Messi shared a simple but heartfelt congratulatory message on Instagram, reposting an image from Barcelona’s official account with a warm “Congratulations.”
Messi’s move from Barcelona to Paris Saint-Germain in 2021 marked the end of a remarkable chapter in football. His public show of support now feels especially meaningful, highlighting the bond that still connects him to the club.
Barcelona secured their 28th La Liga crown on the evening of May 15, sealing their triumph with a confident 2-0 win over city rivals Espanyol. The young talents Lamine Yamal and Fermin Lopez were the heroes of the match, scoring the goals that kept Barcelona comfortably at the top of the league.
This victory isn’t just about the league title—Barcelona has completed a domestic treble this season, having already won the Spanish Super Cup and the Copa del Rey. Their dominance on home soil is undeniable.
Though their Champions League journey ended earlier than hoped with a loss to Inter Milan, Barcelona’s focus on domestic competitions has been impressive.
Even Real Madrid, their fierce rivals, extended congratulations to Barcelona after the title was confirmed. The Madrid club’s official Twitter account posted a respectful message, acknowledging Barcelona’s achievement.
With just two games left in the season, Barcelona holds a strong seven-point lead over Real Madrid, making it impossible for their rivals to catch up.
Under coach Hansi Flick, Barcelona has not only won the league but also proven their strength by capturing the treble, reaffirming their place at the top of Spanish football.
The title could have come even earlier if not for Real Madrid’s late winner against Mallorca, which delayed Barcelona’s celebration by a day. The fierce rivalry between these two giants has been on full display all season—Barcelona’s success in both the Copa del Rey and Spanish Super Cup earlier in the year only added to the drama.
As the season winds down, both clubs are reflecting on their journeys. Barcelona basks in a well-earned return to glory, while Real Madrid prepares to regroup after a fiercely contested campaign.
