Barcelona won its first Spanish league title after the departure of Lionel Messi with a 4-2 victory against Espanyol on Sunday.
The title was secured with four rounds remaining and two years after Messi left amid the club's financial struggles.
Barcelona has led since the 13th round and holds the league's best defense with 13 goals conceded -- 14 better than any other club. It also has 25 clean sheets. Lewandowski, the league's leading scorer with 21 goals, added his second in the 40th after a low cross by Raphinha in a breakaway. Kounde scored the fourth in the 53rd with a header after a long pass by Frenkie de Jong. It was also his first league goal with the club.
It was the 32nd title with Barcelona for midfielder Sergio Busquets, who is leaving the club at the end of the season.
