MADRID, 14 May. (EUROPA PRESS) –
FC Barcelona was proclaimed champion of LaLiga Santander 2022/23 this Sunday by thrashing Espanyol (2-4) on matchday 34 held at the RCDE Stadium, a 60-minute exhibition by Xavi Hernández’s team to end the accounts that will follow squeezing the ‘parakeet’ team a lot in search of permanence.
With four games to go in the National Championship, the Barça team sealed the reconquest four years later. Robert Lewandowski signed a double, Alejandro Balde signed another goal in addition to a great match and Koundé made the fourth against an almost harmless Espanyol and without faith in scoring against their neighbor.
Xavi Hernández added his second title -after the Super Cup last January against Real Madrid- on the bench of the club where he was a legendary player and Barça took advantage of the first mathematical option, with the incentive of celebrating it in a derby that an Espanyol was a spectator that took insufficient pride in the final stretch and that is seen four points from salvation.
