Player ratings
Inaki Pena – 7
Stepped up with some important saves as Hansi Flick fulfilled his promise to offer the third-choice stopper what could be a farewell appearance.
Eric Garcia – 7
Continued to show positive signs when played out of position at right back.
Ronald Araujo – 7
Had a few shaky moments up against the physicality of the hosts attack but he retains his manager’s faith for next season.
Pau Cubarsi – 7
Paired with Araujo instead of Inigo Martinez and did not put a foot wrong for most of the game.
Alejandro Balde – 7
offers more natural width and willingness to burst forward than Gerard Martin and will continue as first-choice at left back next season.
Gavi – 8
Showed that bite and energy which Barcelona fans love and was happy to throw himself into challenges as the hosts looked to battle their way back into the game.
Pedri – 7
A quiet night overall for Flick’s main man in midfield, he will benefit from a tournament-free summer, but make no mistake…he’s been the heartbeat of the team this season.
Lamine Yamal – 7
Another star who was not at their brightest in Bilbao, and looks somewhat ready for the incoming break, tested Unai Simon in the second half but could not find a goal.
Fermin Lopez – 8
A clever pass to set up Robert Lewandowski’s opening goal, and demonstrated that calmness in behind the attack, to great effect.
Raphinha – 7
Supplied the corner for Lewandowski to nod home his second goal and ends an incredible campaign as a superstar.
Robert Lewandowski – 9
In case there was any doubting him, Lewandowski will keep on scoring goals, whatever his age. Two textbook finished secured the result before Dani Olmo’s added time penalty off the bench.
