Tomorrow’s match falls into the first category, meaning Barcelona could celebrate on the pitch straight after full-time.

Precedents exist

There are also recent precedents. Last season, Levante were presented with the La Liga 2 trophy immediately after sealing promotion to the top flight.

Before that, in the 2021/22 season, Real Madrid received the La Liga trophy on the pitch at the Santiago Bernabeu after defeating RCD Espanyol 4-0 and mathematically securing the title with four games remaining.

The trophy Barcelona could lift tomorrow will also be completely new. Last year, the club was allowed to keep the trophy from their 28th league title permanently after a rule change introduced by Louzan after taking over as RFEF president.

Previously, league trophies had to be returned to the RFEF or the jeweller several months later so they could be reused. Clubs were only allowed to keep the trophy permanently if they won three consecutive league titles or five overall titles across different seasons.
