QAPLO – FC Barcelona officially secured the La Liga title this season after defeating arch-rivals Real Madrid CF 2-0 in the latest El Clásico at Spotify Camp Nou on Monday. The victory mathematically ended the title race, as the Blaugrana's points total can no longer be matched. Goals from Marcus Rashford and Ferran Torres sealed both the win and the championship trophy. The three points lifted Barcelona to 91 points from 35 matches. With only three fixtures remaining, Real Madrid no longer have a chance to catch them. Real Madrid started aggressively from the opening whistle. Vinícius Júnior created an early opportunity in the second minute, but goalkeeper Joan García reacted quickly to make the save. Barcelona responded efficiently. In the ninth minute, Rashford opened the scoring with a curling free kick into the top-left corner, leaving Thibaut Courtois with no chance. The home side doubled their advantage just nine minutes later. Ferran Torres finished a precise pass from Dani Olmo before beating Courtois to make it 2-0. Barcelona maintained control throughout the first half. Rashford threatened on several occasions, including in the 26th minute and shortly before halftime, but Courtois produced a series of important saves to prevent further damage. After the break, Barcelona continued to press. Fermín López tested Courtois early in the second half, while Ferran Torres nearly grabbed his second goal in the 56th minute, only to be denied once again by the Belgian goalkeeper. Real Madrid thought they had pulled one back in the 63rd minute when Jude Bellingham found the net, but the goal was disallowed for offside. In the closing stages, chances continued to emerge. Robert Lewandowski came close to extending Barcelona's lead in the 84th minute, while César Palacios also attempted to score two minutes later, but neither opportunity changed the outcome. When the final whistle sounded, the score remained 2-0, confirming Barcelona's victory and officially securing the La Liga championship.
