Spanish champions Barcelona wrapped up a flawless home campaign, winning all 19 La Liga matches at Camp Nou, with a 3-1 victory over Real Betis on Sunday in an emotional night headlined by Robert Lewandowski’s farewell.
Barcelona confirmed on Saturday that the 37-year-old striker will leave the club after four seasons, closing a glittering chapter in Catalonia.
The Catalans had already secured back-to-back league titles with two games to spare, but still delivered one final statement performance in front of their fans. Goals from Raphinha (2) and João Cancelo sealed yet another home win to complete a perfect domestic record at home.

Emotional goodbye for Lewandowski
Lewandowski leaves Barcelona after scoring 119 goals in 192 appearances, playing a key role in three La Liga titles and one Copa del Rey during his four-year spell.
After the final whistle, the Polish striker was lifted by his teammates and later applauded by the entire squad as he walked toward the dressing room in a deeply emotional farewell.

“Being part of this club has been an honor,” Lewandowski said. “We’ve lived incredible moments. I’m very proud of everything we achieved together. I say goodbye today, but Barcelona will always be in my heart.”
Griezmann says goodbye in Madrid
Elsewhere, Antoine Griezmann also said farewell to Atlético Madrid supporters at the Metropolitano, ahead of his move to Major League Soccer. Atlético secured a 1-0 win over Girona in his final home appearance.
The French forward, Atlético’s all-time top scorer, once again apologized to fans for his past move to Barcelona before returning to the club.
“I didn’t realize how much I loved this place,” Griezmann admitted. “I was young, I made a mistake, but I came back and we made it right together.”
Coach Diego Simeone paid tribute to his star attacker, calling him “possibly the best player in the club’s history” and “a genius who changed games.”
Relegation battle goes down to the wire
In La Liga’s survival fight, Sevilla secured safety despite a 1-0 home defeat to Real Madrid, where Vinícius Júnior scored the only goal in a match featuring Kylian Mbappé, who started after recent controversy over his role in the squad.
Alavés also confirmed their top-flight status with a 1-0 win over already relegated Oviedo.
Five teams now head into the final round still fighting to avoid relegation: Levante, Osasuna, Elche, Girona and Mallorca.
Levante boosted their survival hopes with a 2-0 win over Mallorca, while Osasuna and Elche remain level on points after mixed results. Girona, Mallorca and Oviedo sit in the danger zone heading into a dramatic final matchday.
