Barcelona collected the La Liga title on Sunday, but they could not stop a 3-2 defeat to Villarreal at the Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys. Here how Hansi Flick’s side fared.
Player ratings
Marc-Andre Ter Stegen – 5
Conceded three, made zero saves. He could not do much about any of Villarreal’s goals, but it was still a disappointing evening for the German goalkeeper.
Eric Garcia – 7
Another solid performance from Eric, who continues to play at a high level. He provided the assist for Lamine Yamal’s goal.
Pau Cubarsi – 5
Cubarsi has struggled in recent weeks, and this was another poor performance from the 18-year-old defender.
Inigo Martinez – 5
Likewise, not a particularly good performance from Martinez, who struggled to pull off the high line as well as he and his fellow defender have done this season.
Gerard Martin – 5
He continues to struggle, and it is no wonder that Barcelona want a new left-back. He lasted only 45 minutes again, as he was taken off at half time.
Gavi – 6
He battled hard as he always does, but did not enjoy much success with the ball at his feet.
Pedri – 7
Another strong performance from Pedri, whose absence was felt in the second half following his substitution at the interval.
Lamine Yamal – 8
The teenager continues to shine. He curled home a trademark goal to bring Barcelona level, and as he has so often been this season, he was the main threat in attack.
Fermin Lopez – 7
Scored an excellent goal that put Barcelona 2-1 ahead just before half time, and alongside Lamine Yamal, he was the best performer in attack for Flick’s side.
Raphinha – 7
Not a bad performance from Raphinha, but it is another match where he has failed to contribute to the scoreboard.
Robert Lewandowski – 6
Poor. His deficiencies are plain to see when he does not score, and that should worry Barcelona ahead of next season.
Substitutes
Alejandro Balde – 7
Dangerous on the left side, much more so than Martin. He needs to stay fit next season in order to play as much as possible.
Frenkie de Jong – 7
Did well in the second half, although he did miss Pedri alongside him.
Hector Fort – 6
Did little after coming on.
Pau Victor – 6
Struggled to make an impact in likely his final home match as a Barcelona player.
Dani Olmo – 6
Not enough time to make an impact.
