FC Barcelona may have sealed another memorable LaLiga title with a victory over rivals Real Madrid, but the Spanish champions are already setting their sights on even greater achievements next season.
Barcelona secured the 2025/26 LaLiga crown on Sunday after defeating Madrid 2-0 in a decisive El Clásico clash, marking the first time in the club’s history that they mathematically clinched the league title against their biggest rivals.
The triumph also handed manager Hansi Flick back-to-back league titles since taking charge of the Catalan side in 2024.
Celebrations erupted across the city after the final whistle, with players and supporters marking the club’s 29th Spanish league title in style. Some players joined fans in the streets of Barcelona, while club president Joan Laporta also joined the celebrations.
Barcelona’s success this season was largely driven by teenage sensation Lamine Yamal, who continued his rapid rise despite facing injury setbacks and intense public scrutiny during parts of the campaign.
The 18-year-old winger finished the season with 16 goals and 11 assists, emerging as one of the club’s most influential players. His performances, alongside contributions from stars like Raphinha, Robert Lewandowski and Pedri, helped Barcelona dominate domestically.
Despite winning LaLiga and the Supercopa de España, the club’s Champions League quarter-final exit to Atlético Madrid has left players determined to improve further next season.
Young defender Pau Cubarsí admitted the team is hungry for more success and is targeting every available trophy in the coming campaign.
Barcelona also received a major boost from goalkeeper Joan García, whose performances after arriving from local rivals Espanyol proved crucial throughout the season.
The club finished the campaign with one of the youngest squads in LaLiga and remains on course for a record-breaking points tally.
Manager Flick is already believed to be planning reinforcements ahead of next season, with reports suggesting Barcelona are targeting new signings in defence and attack as they prepare for another push for domestic and European glory.
