Barcelona crowned 2025-26 LaLiga champions after 2-0 El Clasico victory
A decisive win over Los Blancos concludes a successful domestic season for Barcelona, though European ambitions were curtailed by an early Champions League exit.
Barcelona have been crowned 2025-26 LaLiga champions following a 2-0 victory over Real Madrid in the El Clasico match. The result marks the club's 29th league title, a record for the franchise, and secures the second consecutive season under German manager Hansi Flick.
According to CBS Sports, this triumph represents the fourth major trophy of the campaign for the Catalan side, following previous victories in the 2025 Copa del Rey and the Spanish Super Cup. The win concludes a season where the team managed to overcome their historical rivals to claim the domestic crown.
The season for Real Madrid was described as challenging, involving significant managerial changes and squad instability. Carlo Ancelotti departed to join the Brazilian national team ahead of the 2026 World Cup, leading to Xabi Alonso being replaced by Álvaro Arbeloa during the campaign.
Despite these internal shifts, the narrative surrounding the Los Blancos included reports of a petition to sell Kylian Mbappe and general squad fights. Conversely, Barcelona's campaign was noted as close to perfection, although they were eliminated from the Champions League by Atlético Madrid in the quarterfinals.
Key player Lamine Yamal missed the final month of the campaign due to a hamstring injury. CBS Sports reports that the forward should be able to feature at the upcoming World Cup, having previously missed matches earlier in the season due to groin issues.
While the domestic title is a significant achievement for both the team and the German manager, the failure to reach the Champions League semifinals remains an area for improvement for the next season.
