Since its founding, La Liga has been the most prestigious domestic title in Spanish football.
Winning that championship is a measure of dominance, consistency, and excellence over a full season.
As of the 2024-25 campaign, Barcelona has lifted the La Liga trophy 28 times. Real Madrid still holds the record for most titles, with 36.
In the 2024-25 season, under first-year coach Hansi Flick, Barcelona reasserted themselves as Spain’s best, losing only five times.
A key moment came with their 2-0 win over Espanyol, which secured the league with two matchdays to spare.
That match also completed a domestic treble for Barça (La Liga, Copa del Rey, Spanish Super Cup).
Barcelona’s 28th La Liga title strengthens their position as the second most successful club in Spanish top-flight history.
But Real Madrid’s 36 titles set a high bar that Barça continues to chase.

Barcelona’s Rise and Current Standing
Barcelona has seen several periods of dominance.
In recent years, they have collected a large fraction of the titles.

Their style, youth talent, and managerial changes have all played roles in regaining the title in 2024-25.
Looking ahead in 2025-26, they aim to build on that momentum.
Their title in 2024-25, combined with domestic cup successes, signals a return to a broader era of supremacy in Spain after seasons where Real Madrid had often edged them.
