Barcelona, back-to-back La Liga champions, play their final 2025-26 match at Estadio de Mestalla against Valencia in Matchday 38. Valencia sit ninth with 46 points, while Barcelona are champions with 94 points. Valencia’s main objective was avoiding relegation, achieved with a dramatic 4-3 win over Real Sociedad after coming back from 3-2 down with 10 men and scoring a 94th-minute winner. With both teams having little to play for, the match is expected to be pressure-free. Barcelona have doubts over Lamine Yamal and Jules Kounde, while Valencia have multiple absences including José Gayà and an out list that includes Dimitri Foulquier.
"Valencia still have a slim chance of getting into Europe but achieved their main goal of avoiding the drop last week with an absolutely insane 4-3 victory against Real Sociedad when Los Che came back from 3-2 down with 10 men and scored a 94th minute winner at Anoeta to seal survival in dramatic fashion."
"They essentially have nothing to play for against a Barç̧a side that are also just happy to be here, so both teams will play pressure-free football on Saturday in front of what is always a great crowd."
"Barcelona return to action for the last time in the 2025-26 season as the back-to-back champions of La Liga face Valencia at Mestalla on Saturday Night Fútbol."
"The final weekend of the league season has nine games kicking off at the same time on Saturday, and every single match has huge implications in what promises to be a wild two hours that will decide relegation and the final spots in European competition next season."
