Barcelona on Sunday lifted their 29th domestic league title after a convincing 2-0 win over their local rivals, Real Madrid.
Hansi Flick’s men opened the scoring as early as the 9th minute of El Clásico after Marcus Rashford scored a stunning free kick.
They doubled their advantage nine minutes later when Ferran Torres found the net with a fine finish from Dani Olmo’s assist.
With the victory, Barcelona open an unassailable 14-point lead at the top of the table over their nearest rivals with only three matches remaining.
