Espanyol 0-2 Barcelona result: Lamine Yamal and Fermin Lopez fire Hansi Flick's side to 28th La Liga title with victory at bitter city rivals

Lamine Yamal netted a trademark stunning long-range strike as Barcelona wrapped up their 28th La Liga title with an impressive 2-0 win at bitter city rivals Espanyol.

After completing a 4-3 win over Real Madrid at the weekend, Barca moved an unassailable seven points clear of Los Blancos with two games remaining of the campaign at the RCDE Stadium, home of their local derby foes.

Having won the Spanish Super Cup and the Copa del Rey, Hansi Flick's side made it a domestic treble with 17-year-old Spain winger Yamal finding a sublime opener on 53 minutes as he crashed a left-foot shot high into the net from 22 yards to silence the home support.

Leandro Cabrera was sent off for the home side via VAR for lashing out at Yamal on 78 minutes before substitute Fermin Lopez accepted a pass from Yamal six minutes into added time to fire low into the net.

Despite producing a stout effort in the first half, Espanyol have now gone 28 matches without a win against Barca, the longest winless run of any local derby in the history of La Liga.

Barca have also astonishingly secured the Liga crown three times in the 21st century at the home of Espanyol, one more than their title-winning successes at the Camp Nou.

Barcelona are La Liga champions. Some of the home players are not happy. All a bit too much for Espanyol. But a great night for the visitors, who claim their 28th national title. The sprinklers are now on to get Barca off the pitch. All a bit daft.

Game, set, match and title to Barca as Fermín López thumps a superb low shot beyond the diving Garcia, seconds after Wojciech Szczesny was booked for a spot of time-wasting. And that prompts scenes of celebration on the visiting bench.

Yamal runs the ball into the corner of the pitch. Picks out Pedri on the run. He thinks about taking the shot before Lamal loses the ball. Espanyol fans hoping for a late miracle.

Heading for seven added minutes. All Barca need to do is keep the ball, and the title is theirs. Marash Kumbulla booked for chopping down Lopez.

Throwing caution to the wind in these closing moments as Cheddira breaks down the Barca right flank, but he can't direct the finish at goal as the shot flies well over the bar.

Have been worthy winners on their second-half showing. Knowing how to get the job done is part of the skill. Walid Cheddira has been booked for a late one on Garcia.

Fernando Calero replaces Roberto Fernández with Walid Cheddira taking over from Javi Puado.

Was a tough ask even with 11 men. Looks almost hopeless with 10, but anyway. Changes being made for the closing stages by home side. No love lost between fans of these sides.

It doesn't rain, but it pours for the home side who are down to 10 men. Cabrera is sent off for lashing out at Yamal as he tried to win the ball out wide. All a bit silly as VAR makes the call. And Espanyol are reduced to 10.

Barca so close to the title at their city rivals as Hector Fort replaces Andreas Christiansen and Dani Olmo is off for Gavi.

This time Szczesny is quickly off his line to make a brave stop at the feet of Roberto Fernández. Offside flag was up, but not sure he was offside upon second glance.

Out of nowhere, the home side try to launch an unlikely attack with Wojciech Szczesny out of his goal. But Milla can't chip the Poland goalkeeper as Andreas Christensen makes a fine tackle.

The home fans not enjoying how this second period is working out against their fierce city foes, who are set to celebrate. Barca playing keep-ball at moment. Eight La Liga goals this season for Yamal. Which is exceptional.

Up to 78% in this match, but only two shots on target and they have scored with one of them. Meanwhile, Jofre Carreras replaces Antoniu Roca for the home team.

Robert Lewandowsi is going to depart the action after a hectic run-out for an hour or so. He is replaced by Fermin Lopez.

Have had limited success in this second period as Pere Milla takes over from Pol Lozano. Javi Puado with a promising break for Espanyol, but sees his shot charged down.

Well, that is one way of putting it.
