Barcelona Head to Mestalla as Lewandowski Prepares Final Appearance

Overview

• Barcelona, who clinched the 2025–26 La Liga title with 94 points and a perfect home record, travel to Mestalla on Saturday, May 23, 2026, for the final round of the season.
• Robert Lewandowski is expected to start in what has been reported as his last match for the club before he leaves in June.
• Barcelona will be without winger Lamine Yamal and midfielder Fermín López after Yamal suffered a hamstring problem and Fermín underwent foot surgery that also rules him out of the World Cup.
• Frenkie de Jong, Marcus Rashford and Ferran Torres have returned to full training, a development that is shaping Hansi Flick’s likely rotation plans for the low-stakes fixture.
• Valencia arrive after a dramatic 4–3 survival win at Real Sociedad and will try to halt a run of heavy defeats to Flick’s side that have included recent aggregate scorelines of 20–2 in Barcelona’s favour.
