Barcelona are champions of Spain after sealing their 28th La Liga crown to win the 2024-25 campaign.
The Blaugranas have been immense under new boss Hansi Flick, and beat Real Madrid home and away as their hopes of a 36th La Liga were there but Barca stood tall when it mattered.

Barcelona finished the season with 102 goals, no doubt the team of thrills. Flick’s team overcame a 2-0 deficit to Real Madrid in the season’s final El Clasico and then held on for a 4-3 win to boost them well clear of their rivals. Barca finished the 2024-25 campaign with a 4-0 record in Clasicos.
Last season’s surprise package, Girona, dropped out of the top-four race after finishing third in 2023-24 and were in the mix to be relegated to the Segunda division. They’re safe.

Athletic Bilbao have taken their place among the elite but will come up just short of their first top-three spot since finishing second to Barca in 1997-98. Dangerous Villarreal finished just behind the Basque club as they returned to the Champions League, while a rejuvenated Real Betis also stayed for a while in the scrap for Champions League qualification but ended up finishing in the Europa League spots.
There has also been a former champion languishing in the relegation fight — at least for most of the season — and plenty of surprise teams in the European hunt. Below, find the leading scorers for this season as well as the most recent standings.
Who won the 2024-25 La Liga title?
Barca went 4-for-4 against Real Madrid in Clasicos, and the two La Liga wins for the Blaugranas were real difference makers. Hansi Flick’s team sealed the deal with a few matches left in the season.
Who were relegated from La Liga?
Last season saw Cadiz, Almeria, and Granada relegated, while Leganes, Real Valladolid, and Espanyol came up from Segunda Division.
Valladolid and Leganes went back down, joined by Las Palmas as Espanyol stayed out of the bottom three by one point on the final day of the season.
Safe now, once-mighty Valencia spent plenty of the season in and around the bottom three, truly remarkable as Los Ches have been in La Liga since 1987-88, twice winning the league near the turn of the century. Carlos Corberan led them in a push away from the relegation zone and toward a top 10 finish as he’s done a superb job at the Mestalla.
Are there any American players in La Liga?
Two at the moment following Sergino Dest’s permanent move from Barcelona to PSV Eindhoven and Luca de la Torre leaving Celta Vigo to join MLS expansion side San Diego FC.
USMNT star Johnny Cardoso is playing regularly for Real Betis, scoring in an upset of Real Madrid on March 1 and again to kickstart a win over Girona on April 21, while fellow national team midfielder. U.S. youth international Diego Kochen, 18, is on the books at Barcelona B.
