Barcelona confirmed themselves as 2025-26 La Liga champions on Sunday with a 2-0 win against Real Madrid in El Clasico at the Spotify Camp Nou, Football Espana reports.
Hansi Flick, whose father passed away prior to kick-off, made two changes to the side that won at Osasuna last weekend, with Marcus Rashford and Ferran Torres drafted in.
It was Rashford that struck the opener on nine minutes, as he curled home a wonderful free-kick from the edge of the penalty area that returning Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois could not get close to.
10 minutes later, it was 2-0. A fine team move was Fermin Lopez play Dani Olmo in behind, and his backheel was perfectly into the path of Torres, who made no mistake to fire beyond Courtois for Barcelona’s second goal of the evening.

Espanyol win
Athletic Bilbao has lost 6 of their last 10 away matches.
Espanyol -0.5
In 6 of the last 10 LaLiga EA Sports away matches, Athletic Bilbao has lost by at least 1 goals.
Athletic Bilbao under 2.5 goals
Athletic Bilbao scored less than 2.5 goals in 9 of the last 10 away matches.
Real Madrid tried their best to find an immediate respond to falling two goals behind, and while Vinicius Junior tried his best as usual to threaten, there were few chances created by Alvaro Arbeloa’s side, who were missing the services of injured striker Kylian Mbappe.
Barcelona went closest to scoring the third goal of the game, but Courtois denied Torres his brace with a big stop at close range.
The second half at the Spotify Camp Nou saw very little action, aside from the odd incident where Barcelona and Real Madrid players squared up to each other.
