Champions Barcelona lifted the 2025/2026 La Liga trophy after beating Betis 3-1 this Sunday (17).

The result was shaped by Raphinha’s two goals, which make him a sure name on the final Brazil squad list for the World Cup.
He scored from a free kick and then again after taking advantage of a huge gift.
Is it him and 10 more at the World Cup?
Barça’s No. 11 had a turbulent season because of two injuries, but still posted good numbers.
He played only 33 matches this season, 22 of them in La Liga.
Even so, his contribution stood out: 21 goals and seven assists.
He opened the scoring this Sunday with a free kick that left goalkeeper Vallés totally lost.
He then doubled Barça’s lead in the second half (62′) after Bellerín “forgot” that he is no longer a Barcelona player.
The Andalusian side pulled one back through an Isco penalty (69′).

But João Cancelo scored the third (74′) for the Catalans.
There was also a farewell for Lewa, who will not stay for next season.
Barça moved to 94 points and will play their final match of the season on Friday (22), when they visit Valencia (9th).
Betis (5th), meanwhile, already assured of a place in next season’s Champions League, will host Levante (15th) — who are still at risk of relegation.
