Barca should thank its gems for saving at least their dignity when the title has gone to Madrid

Fermin Lopez scores a double for a 2-0 home win against Almeria to confirm Barcelona's second place in the table
Fermin Lopez may not be a teenager anymore (he's 21), but in last night's triumph away at Almeria (0-2), he netted a brace for the first time in his senior career to secure Barcelona's second place in the La Liga table.
It was a dead rubber since Barca said farewell to the title recently and Almeria have been relegated. That kind of setup, however, still inspired Barca's youngsters, brought up from the iconic La Masia academy, to go for a win.

Fermin did his best in such a game and scored his second goal in the middle of the second half to secure a four-point lead over Girona with two rounds to go until the end of the season. That runners-up place is still something for the Blaugrana for one reason only - because it books them a ticket to the Spanish Super Cup. The fight for the least important trophy, but still a trophy, will be fought in January 2025 between the finalists of the King's Cup (Atletico Bilbao and Mallorca) and the first two teams in La Liga (Real Madrid and Barcelona).
