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.

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.
1994-95 Real Madrid 5 Barcelona 0 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.
