Match report as Xavi's side clinched their first La Liga title since 2019.

Espanyol 2-4 FC Barcelona

Espanyol get another goal with what will probably be the last kick of the game! The ball cannons off the post and Joselu taps in the rebound.

FC Barcelona will be crowned La Liga champions in just two minutes time.

Barcelona are managing the closing period of the game well after a short fightback from Espanyol. They are keeping the ball and looking to run out the clock.

The ball comes to Robert Lewandowski in the box but Espanyol do just enough to get bodies around him and get the ball clear.

Espanyol have created more chances in the last five or so minutes than they have throughout the rest of the match and Barcelona are just trying to take the sting out of the game now.

Ousmane Dembele latches onto a pass and bursts forward into the box before firing his effort wide of the target.

Ter Stegen makes the save to deny Joselu. That would have made things interesting with 15 minutes to go.

Puado dinks the ball brilliantly over Ter Stegen to make it 4-1. The flag has went up but the replay shows he was clearly nside and this will count!

Puado fires an effort on target but Ter Stegen stretches to make a fantastic save to keep the clean sheet intact.

It wouldn't have counted because Melamed was offside but his effort is saved well by Ter Stegen.

Jordi Alba fires in a cross which Dembele meets but his glancing header is wide of the target.
