Real Madrid endured a trophy-less 2025–2026 season after a 2–0 defeat to arch-rivals Barcelona at Camp Nou in the 35th round of La Liga. According to Spanish newspaper Mundo Deportivo, the scenes of Barcelona celebrating their league title in front of Real Madrid players brought back memories of the first-leg encounter at the Santiago Bernabéu.
Back then, Real Madrid had won 2–1, sparking exuberant celebrations from the players. After the final whistle, the squad formed a circle on the pitch and jumped in delight, having built a five-point lead at the top of the table. Now that Barcelona have officially clinched the trophy, Catalan fans have been sharing photos of those Real Madrid celebrations from last November on social media, adding sarcastic remarks. The most notable comment read: “What a spectacular La Liga celebration in November!”
