What shocked many fans was the response of FC Barcelona. The Catalan club is the biggest rival of Real Madrid, and their fans cannot believe how their team's loss gave their enemy the league title. While many Barcelona fans were furious, the official X account of the Catalan club congratulated Real Madrid on their new La Liga title by writing, "Congratulations to Real Madrid for winning the league title." This infuriated the fans, and they want changes this summer, including some players like Sergi Roberto, who made a terrible mistake in the 4-2 loss against Girona.
Congratulations to Real Madrid for winning the league title.
