Rise of a Football God-Chapter 455: FC Barcelona; 2025/26 La Liga Champions

FWEEE!

The final whistle blew, and the Spotify Camp Nou erupted, not in relief, but in ecstasy. Pure, unrestrained joy.

Barcelona had not just claimed the title, they annihilated their final hurdle to show their dominance this season.

A 7-0 demolition of Villarreal at home; a performance soaked in effortless swagger, precision, and ruthless brilliance. This wasn't a team crawling toward glory; it was a coronation delivered with fireworks, finesse, and the flair only Barca can summon.

The commentators could hardly contain themselves. Their voices rose with reverence, echoing through living rooms and radios across the world.

"Magnificent. Majestic. Mesmerizing".

"Barcelona aren't just champions, they're architects of footballing poetry…"

The commentators waxed lyrical, speaking of a season defined by dominance, of fluid football sculpted with surgical brilliance.

They called it one of the most complete campaigns in recent memory; a team reborn, rekindling echoes of the golden era.

On the pitch, the players collapsed in joy. Some dropped to their knees, eyes glistening with the weight of a season's worth of sacrifice and fire. Others sprinted toward the fans, arms wide open, as if embracing all of Catalunya at once.

For Sam, it was more personal.

To him, it was another title win in one of the top 5 leagues in Europe after his miraculous premier league title win with Fulham last season.

Sam had a video call with his family right there at the Spotify Camp Nou.

He cried, smiled, and roared with the euphoria of victory.

Then, feeling mischievous, he pointed at his mom. "Mom…, remember when you were always so adamant that I won't play football?"

"…" His mom was stumped.

Seeing her reaction, Sam grinned. "What do you think now? Do you still think football will ruin my life?"

Mrs. Moses was stunned at her bold her son was, but then she laughed and shamelessly looked at him. "Humph! You're lucky you made it in football, or you see me? I'd have skinned you alive".

"Mom!" Sam called, stunned at how shameless she was.

"Haha," his mom laughed at his reaction.

The celebrations continued on the pitch.

For Sam, after the Catalan police verified her identity, his fiancée, Kayla was allowed into the pitch as she ran to him before jumping into his arms.

The couple in love kissed passionately right there on the pitch.

Of course, trust the paparazzi.

Click! Click! Click!

The sound of camera clicks reverberated. The morning news tomorrow was surely going to become really spicy.

Outside the bubble that Sam created with his fiancée and his family, celebrating, outside, the celebrations also continued.

His teammates also celebrated with their families.

At some point, his friends in the FC Barcelona team, Balde, Pedri, Gavi, and Lamine Yamal approached as they laughed with him, teased Kayla before taking group pictures with each other.

It was a truly memorable moment, a harmonious memory, an unforgettable chronicle in their career tales.

As for the fans? They were also celebrating exuberantly.

Shirts were thrown, flags waved, and the Spotify camp Nou became a sea of tears, laughter, and unfiltered euphoria.

At some point, Hansi Flick was hoisted into the air by his players, the architect behind the spectacle. Fireworks exploded into the night sky.

"Campeones, campeones, ole ole ole!" The crowd roared from the stands like thunder.

The players danced, sang, and poured champagne over one another like children chasing a dream. It was simply unforgettable.

Cameras flashed. Families joined on the pitch. Legends applauded from the VIP stands, even as confetti rained down in the club's iconic red and blue.

In that moment, the Spotify Camp Nou wasn't just a stadium.

It was the heart of world football; beating loud, proud, and forever blaugrana.

…

Days later, Barcelona was still in celebration mode.

After the home encounter against Villareal at the Spotify Camp Nou on 18th May, the celebrations continued for a long time.

It's been a long time since Catalan fans let loose in such a manner, celebrating a literal perfect season of football.

But this time, they indulged themselves.

It was their season, and they were allowed to enjoy it.

The season was not over yet though. FC Barcelona still had 2 games to play to compete the season, first was their final La Liga game of the season against Athletic Club, an away game.

And finally the UEFA Champions League final.

Today was 25th may, the D-day for their final La Liga clash of the season.

(La Liga:)

(Athletic Club – Barcelona)

The atmosphere at the Estadio de San Mames was a bit subdued, with a hint of reverence as Athletic welcomed the La Liga champions to their home for the final matchday of the season.

The fact that it was FC Barcelona didn't make the Athletic Club coach roll his team over on their belly though. Rather, they started with their best starting XI.

Just like FC Barcelona, Athletic Club played regularly in a 4-2-3-1 formation. Agirrezabala was the man in between the goal posts, while ahead of him in defense was the quadruple of De Marcos, Vivian, Alvarez, and Berchiche.

In midfield was Ruiz de Galarreta and Jauregizar, while in attacking midfield stood Alex Berenguer.

To the right of the attacking midfielder stood Inaki Williams, one of the Williams' brother, while on the opposite flank was Nico Williams, one of the most electric wingers in world football.

Ahead of them all was the sole striker, Sannadi.

This was Nico Williams' last game as an Athletic Club player. He reportedly signed a contract with a big club in Europe already; which means he would be leaving his parent club after today's game.

As for FC Barcelona? Hansi Flick tinkered with his team, letting a few players with need for playing experience to exercise their legs on the pitch.

They started in their regular 4-2-3-1 formation. Inaki Pena started in between the goal, while the defensive quadruple this time comprised Gerard Martin, Ronald Araujo, Eric Garcia, and then Hector Fort.

In midfield was Frankie De Jong and Marc Casado, Gavi in midfield, while the front trio comprised Ansu Fati, Ferran Torres, and Pau Victr.

FWEEE!

The game started.
