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-place 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.. Flick’s team were disappointed to be knocked out in the Champions League quarter-finals by Atletico Madrid in April,
but were still determined to celebrate in style.. “This title is more special for winning it at home against Madrid, now we have to enjoy it with the fans,” Barca midfielder Frenkie de Jong told Movistar.. “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.” 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.. “It has been a tough day.. It started in the morning and I really, I’ll never forget this day,” Flick told fans on the pitch.. “I’m really
proud about that we have such a team.. I want to say thank you to everyone, thank you for everything, thanks for really fighting.. I really appreciate that a lot.” The German coach opted for the energetic Rashford, on loan from Manchester United, on the right wing in place of injured teenage star Lamine Yamal.. The Catalans, who only needed to avoid defeat, came out with their eyes firmly locked on the prize, racing into
a two-goal lead inside 18 minutes.. 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.. – Madrid frustration – 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.. Jude Bellingham put the ball in Barcelona’s net but the goal was ruled out for offside, while Joan Garcia thwarted Vinicius Junior.. Barca fans batted inflatable beach balls around to taunt the Brazilian over his unfulfilled Ballon d’Or ambitions, and lapped up the party atmosphere.. Courtois saved from substitutes Raphinha, back after injury, and Robert Lewandowski as Madrid saw out the
remainder of the match without taking further damage.. “We can’t say a lot (to the fans), because we understand the frustration, their upset, how unsatisfied they have to be with this season,” Arbeloa told reporters.. “All we can do is work, looking towards the future, learning from everything we did badly this year, knowing that Real Madrid always come back.” Flick’s side remain on course to match the record of 100 points in a league
season and can win all their home matches if they defeat Real Betis in the one remaining.. Meanwhile Madrid finish a second consecutive season without a major trophy, staring down the barrel of a summer reshuffle, including former coach Jose Mourinho being linked with a potential return.. What is clear is that for now president Florentino Perez cannot seem to find the solution to end Flick’s Barca’s domestic domination.. Tags: Barcelona El Clasico Ferran Torres
