Barcelona sealed their 29th La Liga title in style after beating rivals Real Madrid 2-0 in a huge Clasico clash on Sunday. The win confirmed back-to-back league titles for Hansi Flick’s side and also left Madrid without a single major trophy this season.Barca only needed to avoid defeat but came out attacking from the start at Camp Nou. Marcus Rashford, playing in place of injured youngster Lamine Yamal, opened the scoring with a brilliant free-kick.

Ferran Torres quickly added a second after a smart assist from Dani Olmo, sending the home crowd into celebration mode.Real Madrid tried to respond but struggled to create enough clear chances. Jude Bellingham had a goal ruled out for offside, while Vinicius Junior was denied by Barcelona goalkeeper Joan Garcia. Madrid also came into the game surrounded by problems after reports of a training-ground scuffle involving Fede Valverde and Aurelien Tchouameni.Barcelona’s title win felt even more emotional because coach Hansi Flick was managing the game despite the recent death of his father. His side controlled the match comfortably and nearly scored more goals through Rashford, Raphinha and Robert Lewandowski.After the final whistle, midfielder Frenkie de Jong said the title felt extra special because it came against Madrid at home.“This title is more special for winning it at home against Madrid, now we have to enjoy it with the fans,” he said.De Jong also praised Barcelona’s performances this season while admitting the team still has bigger goals ahead.“We have been the best team in Spain — of course we (also) want to win the Champions League, that’s the objective. Next year we will have another opportunity,” the Dutchman added.Meanwhile, Madrid now face major questions about the future, with changes expected in the summer after another disappointing campaign.
