Former Barcelona captain Lionel Messi has publicly congratulated his old club after they clinched the 2024/2025 LaLiga title on Thursday, completing a remarkable domestic treble under manager Hansi Flick.

The Inter Miami forward, who left Barcelona in 2021 after his contract expired, reposted a celebratory image from Barcelona's official Instagram account with a simple message: "Congratulations."

Barcelona secured their 28th LaLiga title with a convincing 2-0 victory over local rivals Espanyol in the match-day 36 fixture of the Spanish top-flight league. This triumph adds to their earlier successes this season, having already claimed both the Spanish Super Cup and Copa del Rey ahead of bitter rivals Real Madrid.

The title win marks a significant achievement for Hansi Flick in his first season as Barcelona manager, though the team did face disappointment in European competition after being eliminated from the UEFA Champions League by Inter Milan.

Young sensation Lamine Yamal has been instrumental in Barcelona's success this season, with reports indicating he has equaled Cristiano Ronaldo's title record and publicly thanked former manager Xavi following the championship victory.

Flick also paid an emotional tribute to Carles Garcia after securing the title, highlighting the collective effort behind Barcelona's dominant domestic campaign.

Real Madrid has since responded to their rivals' triumph, though they must now focus on their remaining fixtures as Barcelona celebrates completing the domestic treble in impressive fashion.
