A goal by Lewandowski in the final made the 3-1 suffered by the blaugrana less bitter. The Basques mortgage fourth place, Celta Vigo and Girona do not go beyond 1-1
Second consecutive defeat for Barcelona, now on vacation after the arithmetic victory of La Liga, which lost 3-1 in Valladolid. An own goal by Christensen and goals by Larin and Plata condemn Xavi to surrender. Lewandowski scores and reserves the ‘Pichichi’ with the 23rd goal in the league. Real Sociedad, after the coup at the Camp Nou, narrowly beat Almeria thanks to Kubo’s goal and climbed to 68 points, mortgaging the fourth place which would guarantee qualification for the next Champions League. Instead, the Balaidos match between Celta Vigo and Girona ended 1-1: another former Serie A player, Christian Stuani (who moved to Reggina) responded to the goal by the former Roma player Carles Perez in the 59th minute from a penalty. Galicians who rise to 40 and see salvation, Catalans (eighth) who remain clinging to European hopes, waiting for Athletic Bilbao engaged on Thursday against Osasuna.
