Real Madrid's surprising reaction when Barcelona won La Liga

(Dan Tri) - Real Madrid unexpectedly congratulated Barcelona after their arch-rivals won La Liga.

Last night, Barcelona won 2-0 against Espanyol to officially be crowned La Liga champions with 2 rounds to spare. This was predictable, especially after Los Blaugrana won 4-3 against Real Madrid in the decisive match.

Right after Barcelona won La Liga, Real Madrid sent out the message: "Congratulations to Barcelona for winning La Liga 2024/25". Many people think this is a nice move by Los Blancos because it is not easy to see their great rival win the title. That shows the noble spirit in sports .

This season, Real Madrid had a period of surpassing Barcelona to lead the table (from round 20 to round 24) but Los Blancos showed instability and were robbed of the top spot by the Catalan team.

Having seen Barcelona crowned champions, Real Madrid have been empty-handed this season. They lost to Barcelona in the finals of the Copa del Rey, the Spanish Super Cup and La Liga. In addition, Ancelotti's team were eliminated from the quarter-finals of the Champions League after losing to Arsenal.

After a disappointing season, Ancelotti will leave to take charge of the Brazilian national team. Meanwhile, Real Madrid will welcome a new era with coach Xabi Alonso, who is almost certain to go to the Bernabeu after saying goodbye to Leverkusen.

Of course, Real Madrid's biggest goal this season is still to overthrow Barcelona and regain their position in the Champions League arena.

Elsewhere, Barcelona's city rivals Espanyol could not accept Los Blaugrana celebrating their La Liga title win on their home turf. As a result, they immediately activated their automatic watering system, operating at full capacity, especially in the area where Barcelona players stood to "see off their guests".

Espanyol members and fans also protested against Barcelona staying on the pitch to celebrate. Some Espanyol players asked Barcelona to return to the dressing room immediately. That led to a fight between the two teams.
