Gabri Veiga scored twice as Celta Vigo beat champions Barcelona 2-1 to ensure a 12th straight season in La Liga. Celta went into the final day one point above the relegation zone but Veiga, 21, struck just before half-time, then fired in his 11th goal of the season. Spain forward Ansu Fati, 20, pulled one back for Barcelona with a late header but Celta held on to secure a 13th-place finish. Real Valladolid were relegated after a 0-0 draw at home to Getafe saw them stay in the bottom three. They had only been promoted last season and will now return to Spain’s second tier with Espanyol and Elche, whose fate had already been sealed. Barca’s defeat means they have lost three of their four games since beating Espanyol to clinch their first league title since 2018-19. Celta Vigo’s starting line-up was 4-3-3 formation with Rubén Blanco in goal, Hugo Mallo, Néstor Araujo, Jorge Cuenca and Kevin Vázquez in defence, Fran Beltrán, Denis Suárez, Brais Méndez and Rafinha in midfield and Iago Aspas, Santi Mina and Pione Sisto in attack. Barcelona’s starting line-up was 4-3-3 formation with Marc-André ter Stegen in goal, Sergi Roberto, Clément Lenglet, Gerard Piqué and Jordi Alba in defence, Frenkie de Jong, Sergio Busquets and Pedri in midfield and Lionel Messi, Antoine Griezmann and Ousmane Dembélé in attack. Referee Juan Luis Pulido Santana officiated the match in front of 23,365 spectators.
