Barcelona secured their seventh consecutive Liga F title with a 4-1 victory over Espanyol at the Ciutat Esportiva Dani Jarque. Martine Fenger scored twice, while Caroline Graham Hansen and Carla Julià Martínez also found the net. Laia Ballesté's penalty briefly leveled the score at 1-1 before Barcelona pulled away.

This marks Barcelona's 10th Spanish championship overall, twice as many as any other club in the country. Athletic Club ranks second with five titles. Barça have dropped points just once this season, suffering a surprise defeat to Real Sociedad in October. Their dominance was evident in Clásico victories against Real Madrid both home and away.

Despite Real Madrid finishing eight points off top last year, they've been unable to match that consistency this campaign. Barcelona, who also won the Spanish Supercopa in January, now pursue an unprecedented quadruple for the second time in their history. They face Atlético Madrid in the Copa de la Reina final on May 16, with Champions League semifinals against Bayern Munich coming first.
