Marcus Rashford achieves feat last done 41 years ago as Barcelona win La Liga

Barcelona won their 29th La Liga title as they beat Real Madrid 2-0 at Camp Nou with goals from Marcus Rashford and Ferran Torres.

The English attacker opened the scoring in the eighth minute with a free kick that he fired into the far corner of the goal before Torres added to Barca’s tally in the first half.

Hansi Flick has now won two La Liga titles in as many years in what will have been an emotional night for the German as he led the team from the dugout despite the passing of his father.

Real Madrid struggled throughout the match, which may not be a surprise to many due to their build-up to El Clasico, as Federico Valverde was hospitalised following a fight with Aurelien Tchouameni.

Rashford will have enjoyed his time in the Catalan city, as he has collected a Supercopa title and now a La Liga title while on loan from Manchester United; whether he moves there permanently in the summer remains to be seen.

However, Rashford has managed to achieve something that no English footballer has achieved in 41 years, and that is to win the La Liga title with Barcelona.

The last Englishman to win the Spanish top flight with the Catalan giants was Steve Archibald in 1985; however, he would not be the last player from the nation to attempt this feat.

Gary Lineker famously played with Barcelona from 1986 until 1989, but the striker would never experience the joy of lifting La Liga, as all three titles were won by Los Blancos.

The former Match of the Day presenter did win silverware with Barcelona, as he collected the Copa del Rey in 1988 and the European Cup Winners' Cup in 1989.

Rashford will be pleased to have achieved such a feat in lifting his first-ever league title and in doing so with Barcelona, but he may be hoping he can add to this La Liga tally with a move to the city this summer.
