FC Barcelona came into the clash as overwhelming favourites, keeping in mind Real Madrid off-field's troubles. They also responded with such a gumption as they swatted aside their arch-rivals with a 2-0 margin to claim their 29th title. Real Madrid were desperate for a win to keep their title hopes alive but Marcus Rashford dashed those dreams within nine minutes when FC Barcelona netted for the first time.
It was Antonio Rudiger's fouling against Ferran Torres that gave FC Barcelona a free kick and Rashford ensured not to squander the opportunity. 9 minutes later, Torres made it 2-0 and produced a solid strike into the top corner for their second goal. For Hansi Flick, this meant back-to-back titles, having also delivered the Copa Del Rey win for FC Barcelona earlier in the season.
