Barcelona finished their title-winning LaLiga campaign with a defeat after they lost 3-1 to Valencia at Estadio de Mestalla on the final day.
Robert Lewandowski scored on his final appearance for Barca, but goals from Javi Guerra, Luis Rioja and Guido Rodriguez secured victory for Valencia, though it was not enough to achieve European qualification.
Valencia had plenty of chances to score before half-time, with Diego Lopez firing over at the near post before Hugo Duro failed to keep his header down, while Lewandowski saw his headed attempt from a corner cannon back off the left post.
However, the Polish forward would not be denied just after the hour mark, as he showed his striker's instinct to divert Ferran Torres' wayward volley past Stole Dimitrievski.
Lewandowski's goal seemed to wake Valencia up in the second half, though, as they were level just five minutes later when Guerra powered an effort in from distance after Xavi Espart lost possession.
And by the 71st minute, the home side were ahead. Guerra saw an attempt blocked this time around, but when the rebound fell to Rioja, he dribbled inside past two Barca defenders before scoring at the near post.
Andreas Christensen almost snatched a late leveller for the Blaugrana, but saw his flick from a corner expertly kept out on the line by Dimitrievski, before Rodriguez got the better of Wojciech Szczesny from range at the other end in stoppage time.

Data Debrief: Valencia end on a high note
Valencia produced 1.48 expected goals (xG) from 19 shots to Barca's 1.52 from 11 attempts, though Carlos Coberan's side could not achieve their goal of finishing in the European places after Getafe and Rayo Vallecano won their respective games.
Nevertheless, Valencia have ended their season on a four-game unbeaten run (W3 D1), while also ending an 11-game winless streak against Barca.
Lewandowski was still able to set a personal record in his final game for the Blaugrana, scoring 10 goals against a single LaLiga opponent (10 goals in seven games against Valencia) for the first time.
