Football Club Barcelona on Sunday won the Spanish League title after a 4-2 victory over Espanyol. This is their first La Liga title since Lionel Messi left the club two years ago amid the club’s financial struggles.

Robert Lewandowski scored twice for Xavi's side to lead the Catalan club to the league title with four rounds remaining.

The win will be an emotional occasion for captain Sergio Busquets, who last week announced that he will be leaving Barca after 15 years at the end of the season.

Celebrations on the field were short-lived as players had to rush to the dressing room after a large group of Espanyol fans from the ultra section behind one of the goals started running towards Barcelona players singing and celebrating in the centre.

Videos from the dressing room show players and team staff celebrating the title promise.
