Valencia vs. Barcelona Lineups, Live Streams, Cable, How and Where to Watch

FC Barcelona already has the title sealed and has 94 points in the standings but there’s still a bit of pride on the line as Hansi Flick’s team looks to finish what has been a dominant campaign on a high. Valencia, for their part, are safely clear of danger after a wild end to their season and still have a slim shot at sneaking into Europe depending on other results.

It’s also been a one-sided matchup in recent months. Since Flick took over, Barcelona have won every meeting against Valencia, scoring freely along the way and rarely looking troubled.

Valencia come into this one 9th in the table with 46 points. Last week’s dramatic 4-3 comeback win over Real Sociedad secured their survival and lifted a bit of pressure heading into the finale at Mestalla.

Barcelona, meanwhile, has been rolling. Even with the title already wrapped up, their level hasn’t really dropped, and this feels like one last chance to put a stamp on the season before the summer break.

Barcelona are still without Lamine Yamal and Fermín López, while Koundé is not fully certain to start.

On paper, this has the feel of another Barça-controlled game, but Mestalla rarely makes life simple. Valencia will want to finish strong in front of their home fans, and with the pressure off both sides, it could open up more than expected.
