"In a surprising turn of events, FC Barcelona secures the 2024-2025 La Liga title, causing a stir among rivals Real Madrid and star player Lionel Messi."
In a heartwarming gesture, former FC Barcelona captain, Lionel Messi - now with Inter Miami - showed his support for his old club after they clinched the 2024-2025 Spanish La Liga title.
The Argentinean maestro took to Instagram to share in the joy of Barcelona's victory by reposting a celebratory image from the club's official account and writing a simple yet powerful message: "Congratulations."
This emotional gesture carries a lot of weight, considering Messi's enduring love for Barcelona. His connection with the club stretches back to his youth days, making his supportive message all the more poignant.
Barcelona clinched the La Liga title for an impressive 28th time in the club's glorious history on Thursday night, May 15. The triumphant turnout came after a decisive 2-0 victory over their city rivals, Espanyol, during matchday 36 of the Spanish top-flight league.
Goals from rising talents Lamine Yamal and Fermin Lopez ensured the win, securing Barcelona's position at the top of the table. This championship win also signifies a monumental achievement for Barcelona, as they have now completed a domestic treble this season. In addition to their La Liga success, the Catalan club previously lifted the Spanish Super Cup and the Copa del Rey.
However, their UEFA Champions League journey fell short this season, with elimination by none other than Inter Milan earlier in the tournament. Yet, the Catalans have proven their dominance in domestic competitions, leaving their rivals, Real Madrid, in their wake.
In an act of sportsmanship, Real Madrid acknowledged Barcelona's triumph, with the official Real Madrid Twitter account tweeting, "Congratulations to @FCBarcelona on their 2024-2025 La Liga title."
The season has been a rollercoaster for both clubs, each reflecting on their journeys. Barcelona celebrates a triumphant return to form, while Real Madrid acknowledges the success of their fierce competition.
