Sunday Recap

Barcelona paid tribute to Iniesta on Sunday as he made his final appearance for the club. The club produced a mosaic paying homage to the midfielder, as shown by the club's Twitter account:

The first half was a fairly even affair with both sides having sight of goal but unable to break the deadlock.

Real Sociedad were perhaps fortunate to avoid a red card just before half-time, as Raul Navas cynically hacked down Ousmane Dembele in full flight.

Football journalist Rik Sharma was not impressed with the challenge:

Dembele managed to continue but Denis Suarez replaced him early in the second half in what seemed to be just a precautionary change.

Barcelona opened the scoring just before the hour mark, and they did it in some style. Coutinho dribbled towards goal before checking back and curling the ball into the back of the net.

Football journalist Euan McTear said Coutinho's had an underrated season:

Lionel Messi then replaced Coutinho, and Iniesta followed on 80 minutes to a huge ovation and with tears in his eyes.

The club showed his final moments as a Barcelona player:

Barcelona saw out the game 1-0, and it was fitting that Coutinho, the player largely signed to replace Iniesta, was the man to secure the victory.

Torres was named Atletico Madrid captain on Sunday, and the club also wore commemorative shirts in his honour, as shown by the club's Twitter account:

The striker did not disappoint on his final outing, as he brought Atletico level on 42 minutes after they had gone behind to Kike's opener.

Sky Sports News showed the goal:

The afternoon then got even better for the 34-year-old, who fired Atletico ahead on the hour after good work from Diego Costa.

However, Atletico couldn't sign off with a win, as Ruben Pena equalised after Atletico had gone down to 10 men. Lucas Hernandez was sent off after picking up his second booking of the match.

Torres still seemed to revel in the post-match celebrations, as shown by journalist Alexandra Johnson:

Atletico may have been held, but it's still been a great season for the club. They finish in second place, above city rivals Real Madrid, and also claimed the UEFA Europa League.

Valencia's impressive season ended with a 2-1 win over relegated Deportivo La Coruna at Mestalla Stadium.

The victory means that Valencia finish in fourth place in the table with 73 points and will play UEFA Champions League football next season. Spanish football journalist David Cartlidge highlighted how much improvement they have made under coach Marcelino:

Valencia may have been playing at home, but they debuted next season's away kit at the match, as shown by the club's Twitter account:

Simone Zaza‏ fired the hosts ahead just before the half-hour mark, and they might have had more goals, but the woodwork denied both the striker and midfielder Nemanja Maksimovic.

Goncalo Guedes did manage to double Valencia's lead on 77 minutes, although Deportivo quickly hit back through Lucas Perez just three minutes later.

Clarence Seedorf's side had chances to snatch a point, but Valencia managed to hang on for the win. It's been a fine season for Marcelino's men, and goalscorer Guedes has played a key role.

The 21-year-old has been on loan from Paris Saint-Germain, although Valencia would surely love to keep him after an impressive campaign.
