How Barcelona handed La Liga to Real Madrid

However, Madrid's title hopes hinged on Girona's ability to overcome Barcelona.

At halftime, it seemed unlikely, with Barca holding a 2-1 lead thanks to goals from Andreas Christensen and Robert Lewandowski, GOAL reports.

But football's unpredictable nature came to the fore in the second half. Girona staged a remarkable comeback, netting two quick goals to overturn the deficit.

Portu's second goal of the night, in the 74th minute, sealed a 4-2 victory for Michel's side.

As noted by Eurosport, this completed a league double over their Catalan rivals and secured Real Madrid's triumph in the process.

Despite clinching the Spanish top-flight title, the Catalan giants had to pass the torch to their El Clasico rivals after a drama-filled season.

Amid the disappointment and the significant league implications of their loss, Barcelona gracefully acknowledged their rivals' recent success, offering congratulations via social media.
