Andres Iniesta signs off with a win as Barcelona beat Real Sociedad

A stunning goal from Philippe Coutinho ensured Andres Iniesta ended his glittering Barcelona career with a win as the champions beat Real Sociedad 1-0.

The 34-year-old was afforded one final standing ovation at the Nou Camp when he was replaced by Paco Alcacer with eight minutes of the game remaining.

Iniesta received a hug from all of his team-mates as his 669-game career at Barcelona came to an emotional end as he passed his captain’s armband on to Lionel Messi.

The mercurial midfielder won the title nine times, the Copa del Rey six times and the Champions League four times during his 22 years at the club.

Coutinho’s goal came eight minutes into the second half and was the perfect way to end Barcelona’s season in style.

The Brazil international had possession on the left-hand side just outside Sociedad’s penalty box, and after cutting inside onto his right foot, he curled the ball past goalkeeper Miguel Angel Moya.

Earlier on Sunday, Fernando Torres brought the curtain down on his Atletico Madrid career with two goals but it was not to be a victorious farewell as Eibar earned a 2-2 draw.

Captaining a second-string Atletico side playing just four days on from their Europa League final success against Marseille in Lyon, Torres soon cancelled out Kike Garcia’s 35th-minute opener just before the break.

He rolled back the years with a fantastic run and delicate finish to score on the hour but team-mate Lucas Hernandez was sent off three minutes later and Atletico had to battle on with 10 men.

Eibar quickly made their numerical advantage count, with Ruben Pena hammering in a long-range strike to equalise with 20 minutes remaining.

Torres was denied a dream ending when an offside flag saw another effort ruled out and the striker finished his career for his boyhood club with 128 goals in 404 matches over two spells.

Goals from Simone Zaza and Goncalo Guedes gave Valencia a 2-1 win over already-relegated Deportivo La Coruna.

Zaza finished a slick Valencia passing move at the far post after 28 minutes to register his 13th goal of the season, before seeing an effort strike the crossbar early in the second half.

In the 77th minute Guedes drilled a low shot into the bottom corner for the second goal and Lucas Perez hit a consolation for Depor with 10 minutes remaining, but fourth-placed Valencia held on for the three points.

Espanyol’s strong finish to the campaign continued with a final-day victory at Athletic Bilbao. David Lopez struck the only goal of the game after nine minutes as the Barcelona club concluded with a fourth win in a five-match unbeaten run.
