That's the end of this live text now since Barcelona's players had to go back to their dressing room so there's no colour or quotes to bring you.

Thanks for joining me this evening.

Read the match report here.

Just over 15% of the La Liga goals Barcelona conceded all season were today. They had only let in 11 league goals before this game.

Let's not forget, when Barcelona had that financial meltdown a couple of years ago that meant Lionel Messi had to leave, there was a feeling it could be years before they challenged for major trophies again.

Andrew Priestley: Xavi has exceeded all expectations since taking over at Barca. He’s seen off a Champions League-winning Real Madrid with very little fuss, all while the club is in financial turmoil.

Barcelona have claimed their 27th La Liga, and their first since 2018-19 (under Ernesto Valverde).

Xavi won eight as a player with Barca and now this one as a manager.

Only Lionel Messi (10) and Andres Iniesta (nine) have won as many La Liga titles with Barcelona as Sergio Busquets (nine).

It will be Busquets' first and last as captain. He's leaving the club at the end of the season.

I was planning to bring you colour from Barcelona's celebrations but there isn't really any now as a result of that.

Oh this is a real shame. Espanyol fans are running onto the pitch so all the Barcelona players run down the tunnel.

It's all kicking off on the pitch now with Espanyol fans and the security staff.

The Barca players have got to safety thankfully.

A surprising amount of Espanyol fans have stayed in the stadium to watch this.

No way I'd be hanging round to see my team's rivals celebrating winning the title.

Barcelona won't get the trophy tonight but the players are celebrating on the pitch. They have won their first La Liga title without Lionel Messi since 1999.
