Barcelona in Spain smiled in front of its 'greatest rival,' Real Madrid.

On the 10th (Korean time), Barcelona defeated Real 2-0 in a Round 35 match of the 2025–2026 Spanish Primera División held at the Spotify Camp Nou in Barcelona, Spain. With this result, Barcelona recorded 30 wins, 1 draw, and 4 losses (91 points), securing the league title regardless of the outcomes of the remaining three matches. By retaining the championship from the previous season, the club also achieved its 29th league title in its history.

Especially, Barcelona secured the title in front of a packed home stadium and with Real players watching, making this a particularly meaningful moment. Barcelona manager Hansi Flick said, "I will never forget this moment. Our team is fantastic. I am truly happy." According to Spain's Mundo Deportivo, despite suffering the loss of his father, Flick passionately coached the players for Barcelona's championship. The media also highlighted this, emphasizing that Flick "showed pride toward Barcelona's players and fans."

Barcelona and Real are the greatest rivals watched worldwide. In this match, Barcelona seized the lead early, and the game unfolded more easily than expected.

In the 9th minute of the first half, Barcelona striker Marcus Rashford scored the opening goal with a powerful free-kick shot. Most players would have attempted to shoot over the defensive wall, but Rashford boldly aimed for the left post where the goalkeeper was standing. Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, caught off guard, reached out too late but could not stop the ball. Rashford's fast and strong shot found the far corner of the net.

Having set the tone, Barcelona added a second goal in the 18th minute of the first half through Ferran Torres. Barcelona dismantled the opposing defense with an incredible passing play, and Torres scored with a precise shot inside the penalty area, shaking the net. Real Madrid struggled to contain Barcelona's attack, with Eduardo Camavinga, Raul Asensio, and Jude Bellingham all receiving yellow cards. Amid a festive atmosphere, Barcelona secured the victory and clinched the championship.

According to the football statistics platform WhoScored.com, Torres, the scorer of the decisive goal, received the highest rating of 7.47 among players from both teams.

This season, Barcelona's 'superstar prodigy' Lamine Yamal continued to play a key role, recording 16 goals and 11 assists in 28 league matches. Torres scored 16 goals, while Robert Lewandowski netted 13. Brazilian forward Hapyinha also contributed 11 goals, and Dani Olmo and Fermín López added 7 and 6 goals, respectively. 'Loanee' Marcus Rashford also bolstered the team's championship push with 8 goals and 7 assists.

In contrast, Real Madrid is going through a difficult period. Midway through the season, manager Xabi Alonso, once hailed as a legendary coach, resigned amid poor results. Recently, rumors of team discord have also emerged. With poor performance, the club is facing heavy criticism. In today's match, most Real Madrid players received ratings in the 5th to 6 range. Only goalkeeper Courtois, who made five saves, earned a rating of 7.07.
