Barcelona concluded their 2025-26 season with a disappointing 3-1 loss to Valencia at Mestalla. Despite taking an early lead through Robert Lewandowski, the Catalans faltered in the second half, conceding three goals and marking their second consecutive away defeat to finish the campaign.

In a post-match interview, head coach Hansi Flick shared his thoughts on the defeat, acknowledging that Valencia, who were vying for a European spot, displayed greater determination.

• Flick's comments:

We made a bit of a childish mistake after scoring and they took advantage of that to score the goals that gave them the victory. This defeat has no effect on the season we have had, and that has ended with the title. We accept the result because Valencia’s victory is more than deserved. They showed that they had something more at stake.

Flick also praised Lewandowski for his performance, highlighting his final goal as a testament to his career.

• On Lewandowski:

When you see his goal, you think that during his career he has always been in the right position at the right time. He deserved to play this game and a farewell like the one he had from the fans.

Looking ahead, Flick expressed his intent to analyze the season for improvements while also appreciating the overall success.

• Flick's future plans:

Now I have to analyse things to improve in the future. There were things today that were not quite right, but the season has been good. We are champions and now we are going on holiday and preparing for another season.
