Valencia came from behind to beat Barcelona 3-1 in Robert Lewandowski's final appearance for the club. The hosts scored twice in five second-half minutes to secure victory, though it was not enough to earn European qualification on the final day of the season.
Lewandowski's farewell goal
The veteran Poland striker put the champions ahead just after the hour mark, scoring his 119th Barcelona goal in four seasons with the club. Ferran Torres' volleyed strike was heading wide but Lewandowski diverted it goalwards.
However, Barcelona's lead lasted only five minutes. Javi Guerra levelled for the hosts with a fine finish, and five minutes later Valencia were ahead.
Valencia's comeback
Following neat work from Jesús Vázquez, Guerra saw his shot charged down but the ball fell for Luis Rioja who fired a left-footed shot beyond Wojciech Szczesny.
The hosts thought they had a penalty when Marc Bernal brought down Vázquez, but a VAR check showed the incident happened outside the box.
The third goal arrived deep in stoppage time when Guido Rodríguez found the net from outside the box, securing Valencia's victory.
European qualification miss
Valencia needed a win and other results to go their way to qualify for Europe. Despite claiming all three points, Getafe's win over Osasuna and Rayo Vallecano's victory at Alaves kept them out of the European places.
First half action
Hugo Duro, Rioja and Unai Núñez all had early chances before Diego López fired wide. It took a big block from Ronald Araújo to deny López again late in the first half.
Alejandro Balde fired into the side netting for Barcelona, who then went closest when Lewandowski headed against an upright. The half ended with Valencia threatening once more as Núñez brought a good save out of Szczesny.
Second half developments
The hosts suffered a damaging blow early in the second half when López was forced off with a knee injury.
Valencia wanted a penalty when Núñez went down moments later but their protests were waved away. Two minutes later, Guerra levelled for Valencia, picking up the ball on the edge of the box and feinting before beating Szczesny.
VAR's intervention denied Valencia a penalty and kept Barcelona in the match, but Stole Dimitrievski made two excellent saves to block efforts from Andreas Christensen before Rodríguez had the final word.
