Barcelona wrap up the Spanish top-flight title, beating rivals Real Madrid in the final El Clásico of the season and officially winning the LaLiga title for the 29th time in history. After losing his father earlier in the match, Barcelona manager Hansi Flick was given an emotional minute of silence prior to kickoff.
Nine minutes into Sunday’s La Liga final at Camp Nou, Marcus Rashford’s spectacular straight free-kick from the edge of the 18-yard box found the net beyond Thibaut Courtois, breaking the deadlock for the league leaders.
Ferran Torres’ goal following a well-executed attempt by Dani Olmo put the home team ahead 2-0 and moved the league leaders closer to winning the Spanish championship.
Los Blancos were unable to reduce the deficit before the half-time whistle and after the break despite several chances from Gonzalo Garcia, Aurélien Tchouaméni, Vinicius Jr and Jude Bellingham.
Cancelo of Barcelona will become the first player to win league titles in Europe’s top five divisions thanks to the victory.
With just three games left, Flick’s team has already won La Liga back-to-back for the 29th time in their history, regaining the top rank and putting them 14 points ahead of Real Madrid.
The match also marks Real Madrid’s season without winning a trophy in all competitions.
