Barcelona 2-0 Real Madrid result - Goals from Marcus Rashford and Ferran Torres earn hosts El Clasico victory that secures 29th La Liga title

Barcelona secured a 29th La Liga title in the sweetest of fashions, as they beat bitter rivals Real Madrid 2-0 in El Clasico, taking an unassailable 14-point lead in top spot in the process.

It did not take the hosts long to hit their stride, with Marcus Rashford beautifully curling a free-kick over the wall and into the far top corner from the edge of the box after just nine minutes.

Shortly afterwards, Ferran Torres doubled the advantage by collecting Dani Olmo’s lay-off and clinically firing past Thibaut Courtois, who was making his return from a two-month injury absence for the visitors.

It remained that way until the break, although Gonzalo Garcia and Aurelien Tchouameni wasted chances for the visitors, while Courtois made an excellent stop to deny Rashford.

The goalkeeper was in fine form to keep Fermin Lopez at bay upon the restart, while he made a further stop from substitute Robert Lewandowski late on to ensure the deficit stayed at two goals.

Real offered very little at the other end and succumbed to their sixth defeat of the campaign, whereas Barca have lifted back-to-back Liga crowns.

In his post-match press conference, the Real boss confessed his side's season is over, but is still keen to put on a show in their final three games.

Frenkie de Jong, who came off the bench for Barcelona, has been speaking to Movistar.

He says: "This title is more special for winning it at home against Madrid, now we have to enjoy it with the fans.

"We have been the best team in Spain.

"Of course we [also] want to win the Champions League, that's the objective. Next year we will have another opportunity."

The injured striker was keeping an eye on El Clasico, just days after a petition launched asking for him to leave the Bernabeu attracted millions of signatures.

The Barcelona manager has been chatting to La Liga TV.

"I will never forget this day. It was a tough day for me, my father passed away.

"But here, my team is fantastic. I really love it. Just like a family. They give everything today.

"And I am really proud also of the fans. They are fantastic. It's amazing in this stadium and also in El Clasico, against Real Madrid, to win La Liga."

That victory gives Barcelona a 14-point lead at the top of La Liga.

With only three games to go, the title race is done and dusted.

Real Madrid on the other end will have to settle for second, a position they will tie up with one win from their remaining fixtures.

Alejandro Balde replaces Fermin Lopez

He is in space in the area, but the ball comes to him at an awkward height and his technique isn't great, firing miles over and very wide as well with his left foot

The striker shoots straight at Courtois from inside the area. It's a low, hard effort, but too close to the goalkeeper

Real have also brought on a couple of subs - Mastantouno and Pitarch are on for Brahim Diaz and Gonzalo Garcia

Everything is being played on their terms. The hosts are controlling possession, comfortably passing the ball around and patiently running down the clock.
