Barcelona are awaiting a gift from their rivals, Real Mallorca, who face Real Madrid today, Wednesday, in the Spanish League. The Blaugrana could secure the La Liga title before facing Espanyol tomorrow, Thursday.
Should Real Mallorca draw with Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabéu, Barcelona will officially be the 2024-25 La Liga champions, regardless of Espanyol's result. With this result, Flick could equal the record of former Barça coaches Pep Guardiola and Tito Vilanova, who won their first league title as Barcelona managers without having to wait for the result against their opponents.
In the 2008-2009 season, Real Madrid's 3-2 defeat to Villarreal in the 36th round gave Guardiola the first of his three league titles as Barcelona manager.
In the 2012-13 season, Espanyol tied with Real Madrid three games before the end of the season, a result that allowed Tito Vilanova's team to lift the league title. This year, the club also equaled the record for most points in a single tournament, reaching 100 points, a feat that has not been repeated since.
Flick becomes the third coach to win his first league title with Barcelona in this manner, and this will be his third title with the club after the Spanish Super Cup and the Spanish King's Cup, which he won against Real Madrid this season.
Barcelona tops the Spanish league with 82 points, from 26 wins, 4 draws, and 5 losses.
