Barcelona defeats Real Madrid in the "El Clásico" and secures the title of the Spanish league.
Barcelona defeated their guest and traditional rival Real Madrid with a score of two goals to none in the Spanish league clásico on Sunday evening, securing the title of the current season three rounds before the end of the competition.
The Barça team sealed the match with two goals in the first half, scored by Marcus Rashford and Ferran Torres in the 9th and 18th minutes of the match held at the "Camp Nou," the home ground of the Catalan team, which celebrated its 29th title in history among its fans.
With this victory, Barcelona avenged their loss of 1-2 in the first round match at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, raising their points total to 91 at the top of the table, and winning the title for the second consecutive season.
On the other hand, Real Madrid's points remained at 77 in second place, confirming their exit with a zero-trophy season, keeping their total titles at 36.
Real also lost their second title this season to their direct competitor after falling 2-3 to Barcelona in the final of the Spanish Super Cup held last January in Saudi Arabia.
Hansie Flick, the Barcelona coach who received the painful shock of his father's death just hours before the clásico, achieved his fifth title with the team after winning the domestic treble last season.
Flick continued his dominance over Real Madrid, winning 6 clásico matches against just one loss over the current and previous seasons, outperforming three different coaches: Italian Carlo Ancelotti and Spaniards Xabi Alonso and Álvaro Arbeloa.
