The Dutchman put his side 2-0 up with a brilliant solo effort. Picking the ball up in his own half, he weaved around a bemused defence before slotting the ball past keeper Mariano Garcia Remon from near the penalty spot.
Barcelona won the title with five games to spare.

Barca took on a distinctly British tinge in the mid-1980s with new coach Terry Venables bringing Scotland striker Steve Archibald and then England's Gary Lineker and Wales's Mark Hughes to the Nou Camp.

Archibald, or 'Archigoles' as he became known, got off to a dream start when he scored one goal and had a hand in two more as Barca claimed an emphatic win at the Bernabeu. They cruised to victory in the league title race.
Two seasons later Lineker scored a hat-trick in Barca's 3-2 win over Real at the Nou Camp.

Mercurial Brazil striker Romario grabbed a hat-trick as the Catalans, managed by former player Cruyff, crushed Real at the Nou Camp. Barca were handed their fourth title in a row when Deportivo Coruna defender Miroslav Djukic missed a last-minute penalty against Valencia in the final match of the season.

A sweet victory for Real as they avenged their 5-0 defeat of the previous season with an equally conclusive win of their own at the Bernabeu.

Chile striker Ivan Zamorano got a hat-trick while Emilio Amavisca and Luis Enrique, who later became a Barca favourite when he moved to the Nou Camp, weighed in with the others. Real went on to win the league ahead of Deportivo.
