The dynasty is coming again! Barcelona tops the La Liga championship for the 28th time, with one statistic surpassing Real Madrid

In Barcelona in May, the air seemed to have the smell of championship. At this familiar and glorious moment, Barcelona Football Club once again held high the La Liga championship trophy and locked in the league's top spot in the 2024-25 season two rounds ahead of schedule. This is the 28th top league championship in their team history, and the second championship in the past two seasons. It is also a signal: a new chapter belonging to Barcelona has quietly begun.

From youth to maturity, this Barcelona no longer "rebuilds"

Unlike the past few years, this time's championship win no longer relies on the halo of a single superstar, nor on the radical playing style that "Youth Storm" has taken full advantage of the world. With the joint polishing of the new coach team and core players, this Barcelona team embarked on a more realistic and stable road to victory.

Looking back on this season, Barcelona has not shown the momentum of sweeping away the troops in the past "Dream Three" and "MSN" periods. Instead, they play more pragmatically and pay more attention to defensive details and control rhythm. Especially when facing mid- and lower-level teams, Barcelona showed unprecedented stability: it lacked the embarrassment of "winning strong and losing weak" in the past, and the calmness of "not losing any of the three-pointers that should be won."

More importantly, this Barcelona learned how to win in adversity - not by luck after a shot, but by slowly "smashing" the opponent through continuous oppression and patience in possession. This is also their greatest capital to lock in the championship early: stability, calmness, and not out of control.

The central axis has been reshaped successfully, and the championship is the victory of the system

This championship is the victory of the Barcelona system. In the goalkeeper position, Ter Stegen once again proved that he is one of the most underrated goalkeepers in Europe. This season, he not only ranks among the top in La Liga in terms of save rate, but also becomes the "first pass" to launch an offense in the backcourt through accurate long passes and quick shots. On the

defense line, the integration of new players and youth training is surprising. Whether it is Araujo's toughness, Conde's wisdom, or Valde's breakthrough, this defense line has hardly experienced a large-scale "collapse" throughout the season, and it is the most stable year for Barcelona in recent years.

midfielder is one of Barcelona's biggest highlights this season. The combination of Pedri and De Jong is more tacit, while the agility and vitality of youth training products such as Garvey and Ferming bring endless possibilities to the midfield. They not only assume organizational responsibilities, but also frequently insert and create threats. Pedri, in particular, became more mature after recovering from injuries and became a true "midfield brain". In terms of the forward line, although there is no personal decisive power like Messi in the past, Lewandowski's fulcrum role cannot be ignored. More importantly, the growth of the wing attackers - Yamal, Ferran Torres, and Rafinia have found their own roles in the rotation, no one has to explode, but the overall "can all be promoted and win".

This is a Barcelona team that truly "plays football based on the system", and no longer places their destiny on the performance of a talented player. It is this transformation that has allowed them to operate efficiently in the intense La Liga stadium.

The adjustment of the coaching team and the "No Nameless Merit"

People often say that the temperament of a team comes from the coach first.

Although Xavi announced that he would leave at the end of the season, he still defeated the skeleton of this champion Barcelona. Looking back on this season, Xavi's tactical adjustments are remarkable: from initially emphasizing control of the ball to later focusing on offense and defense balance; from stubbornly using certain combinations to being willing to adapt flexibly according to opponents, Xavi obviously completed the transformation from an "idealist" to a "pragmatic" in his coaching thinking.

Not only that, the coaching staff has also made great progress in physical fitness and injury control. Compared with the past, Barcelona has always maintained the integrity of its main lineup during a critical period this season, which is crucial to the long-term league journey.

It can be said that Xavi's championship before leaving office was the most important answer sheet during his coaching in Barcelona, ​​and it is also a handshake between reason and reality.

28 championships and 12 championships: The number match between La Liga at the top of La Liga

So far, Barcelona has won the 28th La Liga championship in team history and the 12th in this century - this number is enough to stand out for all La Liga opponents. Even Real Madrid won the cup with only 9 times. Among the five major European leagues, only Bayern Munich is better with 18 league titles. The series of numbers

is not only a cold statistics, but also a symbol of Barcelona's profound heritage and sustainable competitiveness. After experiencing a chaotic period of generation change, financial crisis, and player replacement, they can still hold their feet and return to the top - this stability is the truly respectable "wealthy family gene".

Espaniore's "background board" is actually not embarrassing

It is worth mentioning that this key battle to win the championship early is the "dead enemy in the city" Espanyol. Although the competition between the two teams has not been as popular as the "national derby" in recent years, the "Catai derby" has always been full of gunpowder. Locking the championship in the opponent's territory is an additional satisfaction for Barcelona fans.

But in this game, Espanyol was not vulnerable. They once suppressed Barcelona in the midfield and even created many threatening attacks. But in the end, they failed to defend the defense line and missed opportunities, perhaps because of the gap between experience and execution. Although such failure is bitter, it is also a must-have path for a team that is struggling to relegate or attack the European war.

The new dynasty has set off?

Barcelona's championship this season may not have many bloody plots, no final round of winnings, and no controversial punishment. But it is this smooth process of "no danger" that just reflects the champion temperament of a mature team.

When Yamal broke through the defense and celebrated, when Ter Stegen calmly clenched his fist in front of the goal, when coach Xavi stood calmly on the sidelines and looked towards the sky - you will understand that this is not only another championship crown, but also a turning point in an era.

Perhaps, the real new era of Barcelona is beginning from this moment.
