During the title celebrations, Lionel Messi and Neymar were video phoned by Barcelona players, while Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang ‘liked’ a post congratulating La League victory.

Date:

Lionel Messi and Neymar formed part of Barcelona’s title celebrations after they confirmed their coronation as kings of Spanish football on Sunday.

  • Blaugrana tops dogs in Spain
  • First crown since 2018-19
  • Ex-players join the party

WHAT HAPPENED? Having waited five long years to recapture the Liga crown, the Blaugrana got over that line in 2022-23 courtesy of a 4-2 derby victory over Catalan neighbours Espanyol. Wild celebrations were sparked on the field at the RCDE Stadium, which then had to be taken back to the dressing room as home supporters stormed the field.

THE BIGGER PICTURE: Some familiar faces got involved in that party via video link, according to Gerard Romero, with ex-Barcelona forwards Neymar and Messi speaking with some of those that helped Xavi’s side to glory. Argentine superstar Messi also joined Ronald Araujo’s Instagram live broadcast, leading to the Uruguayan defender saying: “Who’s there? Messi? Damn!”

AND WHAT’S MORE: Another player with strong ties to Barca, current Chelsea striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, also passed on his well wishes to those still at Camp Nou by liking a social media post confirming the Blaugrana’s title triumph.
