First-half goals from Marcus Rashford and Ferran Torres secured the win that confirmed Barcelona as champions and left Madrid facing a trophyless season.
The result opened an unassailable 11-point gap at the top of the table with three matches still remaining.
Barcelona players celebrate with Kakalika tune
After the final whistle, Barcelona’s players stayed on the pitch at Camp Nou to soak in the moment with supporters.
Music blasted through the stadium speakers as players danced, hugged and celebrated winning the club’s 29th La Liga title.
One of the standout moments came when teenage sensation Lamine Yamal, who missed the match through injury, was spotted performing the viral Kakalika dance.

The celebrations did not stop there.
A day later, the club took the party onto the streets of Catalonia during an open-top bus parade attended by thousands of fans.
In a video shared by Barcelona on social media, players could be seen enjoying the ride while the viral Ghanaian song Kakalika by DopeNation played loudly in the background.

Although the squad did not fully perform the dance challenge this time, several players were seen vibing to the music, with Pedri even jokingly handing flowers to Rashford during the celebrations.
The moment quickly sparked excitement online, especially among Ghanaian football fans proud to see the song gaining global attention. YEN.com.gh has compiled some reactions from X:
@Jehrie_ celebrated:
“Kakalika?? Chale Ghana reach.”

@dizzy10_ summed up:

Kakalika dance continues to spread across football
Barcelona are only the latest football figures to embrace the trending dance challenge.
A few weeks ago, William Osula celebrated with the Kakalika dance after scoring for Newcastle United against Bournemouth in the Premier League.

Thierno Barry also joined the craze after scoring against Manchester City in a dramatic 3-3 draw.
Before that, Arsenal W stars Chloe Kelly and Olivia Smith performed the dance in the Women’s Super League.
Meanwhile, Barcelona’s season could still become even more historic under Hansi Flick.
The Spanish champions are now on course to potentially become only the third side in La Liga history to reach the 100-point mark.
Only José Mourinho with Real Madrid in 2011 and Tito Vilanova with Barcelona in 2012 have previously achieved the feat.
