Barcelona win second straight LaLiga title after El Clásico victory - ESPN

Barcelona are back-to-back Spanish champions under Hansi Flick after beating Real Madrid 2-0 in El Clásico on Sunday, moving 14 points clear at the top with just three games to play.

Two early goals from Marcus Rashford and Ferran Torres were all Barcelona needed on a day when Flick was present on the sidelines despite the death of his father being announced shortly before kickoff. Players from both teams wore black armbands and there was a moment of silence before kickoff.

Barcelona's players and coaches went wild at the full-time whistle and celebrated on the field in front of fans after shutting out archrivals Madrid, while Flick thanked the supporters in his postmatch interview as well as the team, which he called a «family.»

Shortly after, Barça's players were all given a miniature version of the LaLiga trophy before the real prize was given to the team and lifted in front of a raucous Camp Nou for the second season in a row.

The win marked just the second time in the history of LaLiga that the result of the Clásico has directly awarded one of the two teams the league title.

The only previous time it happened was back in 1932, when a 2-2 draw between the sides enabled Madrid to clinch the title.

After going three years without winning LaLiga, Barça have now won three of the past four titles, while former Bayern Munich and Germany coach Flick, who replaced Xavi Hernández in 2024, has lifted the trophy in both of his seasons as Barça boss.

It is the 29th time the Blaugrana have won LaLiga. Only Madrid (36) have won it more often, with Atlético Madrid (11) a long way back in third.

Barça have now won five trophies since Flick took charge, with the club also lifting the Spanish Supercopa in each of his two seasons and
