Throughout the celebrations, Yuste remained alongside president-elect Joan Laporta and manager Hansi Flick, sharing in what became one of the club’s most emotional nights in recent years.
Speaking after the final whistle, Yuste admitted it was difficult to fully describe the emotions surrounding Barcelona’s latest league triumph.
“It’s hard to explain how I feel. It’s for the manager, for the fans, for thousands of people who are no longer with us… for everyone.”
The Barcelona official also made sure to highlight the incredible work done by Flick in his second season at the club, especially considering the personal tragedy the German coach suffered just before the match.

“He is a very important man to all of us and has brought out the best in the lads through humility, effort and hard work.”
The emotional connection between Flick and the squad has become one of the defining stories of Barcelona’s season, with several players already describing the manager as a father figure inside the dressing room.

Yuste also reflected on the match itself and admitted Barcelona could have increased their advantage after taking control early through goals from Marcus Rashford and Ferran Torres.
“You focus on the three points whilst respecting a great rival like Real Madrid.”
Another major talking point after the title victory was Barcelona’s incredible form at Spotify Camp Nou this season, where the team managed to win every single home match.
Yuste took the opportunity to personally thank the supporters for the role they played during difficult moments throughout the campaign.
“I would say to them, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for the support you give us when we’re struggling.
“The players welcome that support with open arms and that is reflected in the way we play,” he concluded.
