Barcelona wasted no time asserting their dominance. In the 9th minute, Manchester United loanee Marcus Rashford sent the home crowd into a frenzy with a breathtaking free kick that dipped over the wall and past Thibaut Courtois.
The momentum stayed firmly with the hosts. In the 18th minute, a slick attacking move culminated in Ferran Torres doubling the lead. Fed by a clever backheel assist from Dani Olmo, Torres finished with composure, effectively sealing the title before the twenty-minute mark.
A Victory for Flick
The triumph was overshadowed by somber news from earlier in the day. FC Barcelona had announced the passing of manager Hansi Flick’s father just hours before kick-off. In a show of remarkable professional dedication and strength, Flick chose to remain in the dugout.
The final whistle triggered jubilant celebrations on the pitch, but the players immediately rallied around their manager, dedicating the historic win—the first time Barcelona has ever mathematically secured the title directly against Real Madrid—to him and his family.
