Valencia came from behind to beat LaLiga champions Barcelona 3-1 on the final day of the season, but the victory proved insufficient for European qualification. Robert Lewandowski marked his final Barcelona appearance with a goal, diverting Ferran Torres' volley past the keeper just after the hour mark for his 119th strike in four seasons with the club.

The hosts turned the match around in spectacular fashion, scoring twice within five minutes. Javi Guerra leveled with a composed finish before neat work from Jesús Vázquez set up the second, and when Guerra's shot was blocked, Luis Rioja fired home to put Valencia ahead. Guido Rodríguez added a third deep in stoppage time with a powerful strike from outside the box.

Despite the win, Getafe's victory over Osasuna and Rayo Vallecano's success at Alaves meant Valencia finished just outside the European places. Before kickoff, supporters protested owner Peter Lim's continued involvement, though their team's fighting spirit on the pitch offered some encouragement. Diego López's concerning knee injury sustained in the second half overshadowed the result.
