The numbers have been crunched.

Barcelona made history on Sunday night, securing a commanding 2-0 victory over Real Madrid in El Clásico and clinching the La Liga title in the process. It's the first time the Catalans have won the league championship in this iconic fixture—a milestone that adds extra shine to an already memorable season.

But the numbers don't stop there. The win means teenage sensation Lamine Yamal now has three La Liga titles to his name—one more than a certain Cristiano Ronaldo, who won two during his time at Real Madrid. And here's the kicker: Yamal is still only 18 years old. At an age when most players are just breaking into the first team, he's already surpassed one of the greatest to ever play the game.

Marcus Rashford opened the scoring with a brilliant free-kick, and Ferran Torres sealed the win to secure a first-ever league title for the Manchester United loanee. In a twist that will raise eyebrows across Europe, Rashford has now won a league title in Spain before Kylian Mbappé has managed to do so anywhere.

Another loanee, João Cancelo, has also etched his name into the history books. The Portugal international became the first player this century to win four of Europe's top five leagues. Having already conquered the Premier League, Serie A, and the Bundesliga (plus Portugal's Primeira Liga), Cancelo can now add La Liga to his growing collection.

Manager Hansi Flick, meanwhile, is building a Clásico legacy of his own. According to stats guru MisterChip, Flick is the first coach to win six of his first seven encounters against Real Madrid—even Pep Guardiola managed only five wins in his first seven.

And in a final stat that underscores just how tight this rivalry remains, Barcelona are now level with Real Madrid on all-time Clásico wins. Both teams have 106 victories to their name, with 52 draws shared between them.
