Barcelona 2-3 Villarreal result – Lamine Yamal and Fermin Lopez score goals in Barca defeat to Yellow Submarine

Villarreal handed Barcelona their first league defeat of 2025, coming from behind to confirm fifth place and their participation in next season's UEFA Champions League.

Barca had to content themselves with winning La Liga, the trophy handed to them at full-time.

The Yellow Submarine took the lead early, Ayoze Perez rounding off a swift counter. But on 38 minutes, Lamine Yamal equalised with a signature finish, curled low inside the far corner, then Fermin Lopez put Barca ahead with a terrific strike on the cusp of half-time.

From there, it seemed unlikely the champions could be beaten, but five minutes after the break, Santi Comesana's smart finish drew them level, then with 10 to go, Tajon Buchanan kept his cool at the far post to secure a famous victory.

Barca celebrate winning the championship. They'll be presented with the trophy shortly.

Barca remain champions; Villarreal confirm their spot in the Champions League.

And in Madrid, Atleti have scores a fourth! Thwy're going into the Champions League!

And again he punches his finish ... squarely into Foyth and Pau Victor. So Villarreal counter but a dreadful pass by Barry allows Barca to build again, a find ball through the middle looking bound for Lamine, until Costa intercedes. Good defending.

But a searching cross persuades Foyth ro head behind ... and a poor corner means Junior is soon sprawled, on top of the ball.

...and also over the bar.

Barca will surely create at least one decent chance, and now have a free-kick just outside the box, right of center; Raphinha fancies it..

Villarreal have probably defended them the best of all who've tried, and they've still conceded twice.

Villarreal take the free-kick quickly and Moreno attacks Cubarsi, checking, then rolling a square-pass across the face of goal; Baena, arriving on to it unmarked, must surely sweep home the clincher, Ter Stegen way over by his other post ... except, somehow, he sends a dreadful effort over the bar!

Who pulls him back and is booked.

He tries his finish again, but this time cuts across it and the ball goes well wide.

Off goes Gavi; on comes Dani Olmo.

In Madrid, it's Atleti 3-1 Betis so that fifth-place finish is nearly theirs.

He's made a decent start to lif as Barca manager ... and yet his side have issues he barely looks bothered to resolve.

Are Villarrela going back into the Champions League? They take a throw quickly and short, a low cross from the left eludes the sliding Moreno, and at the back post Buchanan takes a touch then whips a rising finish over Ter Stegen's dive! That's his first goal for the club!

Moereno for Pepe.

Winning the ball high and immediately feeding Raphinha, who works a shooting angle only to screw wide of the far post.

Baena drives forward, he's got men flooding forward to either side, picks Comesana, and a poor first touch means a slashed second, the ball flying high and wide.
