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.
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.
Another solid performance from Eric, who continues to play at a high level. He provided the assist for Lamine Yamal’s goal.
Cubarsi has struggled in recent weeks, and this was another poor performance from the 18-year-old defender.
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.
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.
He battled hard as he always does, but did not enjoy much success with the ball at his feet.
Another strong performance from Pedri, whose absence was felt in the second half following his substitution at the interval.
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.
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.
Not a bad performance from Raphinha, but it is another match where he has failed to contribute to the scoreboard.
Poor. His deficiencies are plain to see when he does not score, and that should worry Barcelona ahead of next season.
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.
Did well in the second half, although he did miss Pedri alongside him.
Did little after coming on.
Struggled to make an impact in likely his final home match as a Barcelona player.
Not enough time to make an impact.

In fact despite Barcelona's la Liga triumph it is hellish and horrible watching the team concede cheap goals. Goals even amateurish teams will at all cost try to avoid. Indeed if Barcelona is to lay any realistic claim to silverware next season and beyond Hansi Flick has a huge responsibility to fix this awful defensive frailties or we forget it entirely.
