Barcelona secured the LaLiga crown in a dramatic 2-0 win over rivals Real Madrid at Spotify Camp Nou, with Marcus Rashford netting the opener from a free‑kick and Ferran Torres adding a second after a slick pass from Dani Olmo. The victory, the first in LaLiga history where a title was decided in a Clásico, left Barcelona 14 points clear with three games remaining.

The match was also a poignant moment for Hansi Flick, who announced the death of his father the morning of the fixture. Flick chose to stay on the sidelines, and his presence was felt as players celebrated the goals with him, underscoring his impact on the club’s resurgence.

Real Madrid’s campaign faltered amid internal turmoil, highlighted by a training‑ground altercation between Aurélien Tchouaméni and Federico Valverde. The side, missing key players such as Kylian Mbappé and Éder Militão, struggled to respond to Barça’s early dominance, and a goal from Gonzalo García only delayed the inevitable.

The win marks Flick’s sixth Clásico victory and the first consecutive LaLiga titles since Ernesto Valverde’s 2018‑19 double, cementing Barcelona’s status as the current Spanish powerhouse.
