Lionel Messi, the former captain of FC Barcelona, celebrated his former team’s victory as the Spanish La Liga winners in 2024–2025.
Now with Inter Miami, Lionel Messi shared in the excitement of Barcelona’s win on Instagram by uploading a happy photo from the team’s official account and writing, “Congratulations.”
Messi’s encouraging gesture was all the more painful because his 2021 move from Barcelona to Paris Saint-Germain signaled the end of an era for the player and the team.
Remember Thursday night, May 15, when FC Barcelona won La Liga for the 28th time in the club’s illustrious history?
On matchday 36 of the Spanish top flight league, they accomplished this incredible feat by defeating their city rivals, Espanyol, 2-0.
The victory was guaranteed by goals from the gifted young team Fermin Lopez and Lamine Yamal, solidifying Barcelona’s position atop the table.

Barcelona has now won a domestic triple this season, thus this title victory also represents a huge accomplishment.
The Catalan team has won the Copa del Rey and the Spanish Super Cup in addition to La Liga, demonstrating their supremacy in domestic events.
But earlier in the competition, Inter Milan ousted them from the UEFA Champions League, leaving them disappointed.
Following the conclusion of the pivotal encounter, Real Madrid, Barcelona’s old adversaries, congratulated the Catalan club in a show of good sportsmanship.
Real Madrid’s official Twitter account quickly acknowledged the achievement with the message, “Congratulations to @FCBarcelona on their 2024–2025 La Liga title.”
Due to the results of this season, Real Madrid is unable to pass Barcelona in the league rankings; with two games left, the Catalans now have a comfortable seven-point advantage.
In addition to winning La Liga, Hansi Flick’s team has won a domestic triple, further establishing their supremacy in Spanish football.
It’s interesting to note that if Real Madrid hadn’t defeated Mallorca in the final moments, Barcelona may have won the championship even earlier on Wednesday.
The Catalans had already defeated Carlo Ancelotti’s team in the Copa del Rey and the Spanish Super Cup, which heightened the rivalry between Spain’s most illustrious teams.
Real Madrid recognizes their rival’s accomplishment in the midst of the unprecedented competition, while Barcelona celebrates a victorious return to form as the season comes to an end.
