In the end, Barcelona were just too good and Madrid just not good enough: not only here, in the clasico that in effect clinched the league title, but all season long. Hansi Flick’s young team have been wild and fun, and they are going to be double winners, La Liga secured the way they played all year.
Montjuïc briefly held its breath and then celebrated in the sunshine as the Barça fans watched their side concede two inside 15 minutes, seemingly inviting a catastrophe, and still win a chaotic match that would not have been out of place on a playground. Kylian Mbappé scored a hat-trick but Barcelona scored more – which is what they do.
