Barcelona clinches La Liga title with dominant 2-0 El Clásico win over ...
For the second year in a row, Barcelona has won La Liga, lifting the trophy after a dominant 2-0 showing against Real Madrid. The largely one-sided El Clásico victory on Sunday clinched the club’s 29th league title.The win came off a heavier Clásico than normal, with Barcelona announcing hours before kickoff that head coach Hansi Flick’s father had died. Real Madrid shared its condolences soon after the news, offering support just before the title-deciding rivalry matchup.AdvertisementEven with the stakes high, things looked pretty locked up for Barcelona after the first half, with Barça taking an early lead. A beautiful direct free kick from Marcus Rashford put Barcelona up 1-0 in the ninth minute, with Rashford nailing the kick from just outside the box and into the netting.Just nine minutes later, Ferran Torres doubled the lead. A tricky assist from Dani Olmo sent the ball right to the feet of Ferran in the center of the box, with the striker sending the ball past Real Madrid keeper Thibaut Courtois.Things boiled over at a few points in the rivalry match, with a handful of yellow cards issued to both teams after some tough tackles, and the teams erupting into a scrum more than once. But Barça’s early scoring ended up being all that team needed to get the win.AdvertisementReal Madrid entered the matchup with a pretty banged up roster, with Kylian Mbappé among the high-profile absences. There have also been reports of tension in the locker room; Real Madrid was also without Federico Valverde after the midfielder got into an altercation with Aurélien Tchouaméni at training earlier this week.Barcelona, meanwhile, joins its women’s side in lifting the league trophy — both doing so in special-edition Olivia Rodrigo jerseys. (Talk about déjà vu.) Rodrigo was also on the sidelines for Sunday’s match, meeting up with Barcelona phenom Lamine Yamal, who is out for the rest of the season with an injury.Rodrigo aside, the win took on an emotional aspect for Flick and Barça. Postgame, Flick spoke about what the win meant to him in the wake of his father’s death.“I will never forget this day, ever. It did not start in the best possible way for me, but this team is special. This is a family. They did fantastically, I am so proud of them,” Flick said.Live coverage is over37 updatesFeaturedSun, May 10, 2026 at 1:57 PM PDTYahoo Sports StaffBarcelona closed out a 2-0 win over Real Madrid to clinch back-to-back La Liga titles.

Barcelona clinch La Liga title with Clasico win over Real Madrid
Barcelona secured their 29th Spanish league title after beating Real Madrid 2-0 in the Clasico on Sunday. Marcus Rashford and Ferran Torres struck in the first half to help Hansi Flick's side clinch La Liga in consecutive years, while consigning Madrid to a trophyless season. Barca moved an unassailable 14 points clear of second-placed Los Blancos with three matches remaining. This was only the second time the outcome of La Liga has been decided directly by the result of a Clasico, with record 36-time champions Real Madrid winning their first title in 1932 after a draw with Barca. Madrid arrived at the match embroiled in chaos, after midfielder Fede Valverde was ruled out with a head injury following a training-ground scuffle with team-mate Aurelien Tchouameni, who started. Barca coach Flick received bad news before the game, with his father passing away, but took his place on the touchline regardless, to oversee his side's comfortable triumph. The German opted for the energetic Rashford, on loan from Manchester United, on the right wing in place of injured teenage star Lamine Yamal.

Rashford opened the scoring with a superb free-kick, whipping the ball into the top left corner from a position 20 yards out, right of centre. Torres doubled the hosts' advantage at a jubilant Camp Nou, the 62,000-strong crowd enjoying the first Clasico back there since the stadium was reopened. Dani Olmo produced a clever backheel to allow Torres to burst into the box and ram past Thibaut Courtois. Gonzalo Garcia, playing in place of injured Madrid superstar Kylian Mbappe, prodded narrowly wide after racing in behind Barca's high defensive line. Stem the bleeding Urged on by coach Alvaro Arbeloa on the touchline, unlikely to be at the helm next season, Madrid battled to stem the bleeding. Rashford could have added a third before the break but fired wide, with Fermin Lopez unmarked and well placed to finish. Torres should have struck early in the second half but Courtois saved from the Spain international as he ran through.
