da prosport bet： Raphinha endured a difficult day in what could be his final Barcelona game, proving ineffective as the Blaugrana lost to Celta Vigo.

da supremo： The Brazilian winger turned in a poor performance as Barcelona lost to relegation-threatened Celta to round off a memorable season with a forgettable 2-1 defeat. Celta needed a win to stay up after a series of miserable results, and a lifeless performance from the Blaugrana ensured the struggling side will play in Spain's top flight next year.

Barcelona had a goal ruled out early on, with Franck Kessie's short range strike being ruled out after the midfielder was caught offside in the build-up. But the Blaugrana were mostly on the back foot for the remainder of the half. And Gabri Veiga made them pay. The academy product, linked with a summer move, burst through the Barca defence and slotted the ball past Marc-Andre ter Stegen to give the home side a well-deserved 1-0 lead.

Veiga added a second for the home side after 65 minutes. The midfielder sliced a cross intended for the far post, but the floated ball flew over the keeper and into the net.

Xavi's substitutes gave Barcelona life. Ansu Fati met Ousmane Dembele's angled cross in his stride to make things tense for the home side. But the Blaugrana couldn't find a second, ensuring that Celta stayed up.

Still, though both the performance and outcome won't have pleased Xavi, their season as a whole, complete with league winners' medals, was one to remember.

GOAL rates Barcelona's players from Balaidos…

Getty ImagesGoalkeeper & Defence

Marc-Andre ter Stegen (6/10):

Almost gave away a goal when he fumbled a shot midway through the first half. Taken off after losing both clean sheet and goals conceded records.

Sergi Roberto (6/10):

A decent shift from the versatile vice-captain. He'll be a valuable squad player going forward.

Jules Kounde (4/10):

Another centre-back trial was unsuccessful. It'll be interesting to see where he plays next year.

Andreas Christensen (6/10):

Made a nice recovery tackle or two, but didn't have the legs to catch Veiga on Celta's opener. Subbed at half time.

Marcos Alonso (6/10):

Moved the ball well, but didn't offer much in the final third.

Eric Garcia (5/10):

Used as a pivot in Busquets' absence. Moved the ball, but didn't command spaces particularly well. Struggled defensively.

Franck Kessie (6/10):

Thought he'd grabbed a rare goal early on, but saw it ruled out. Was otherwise uninvolved.

Frenkie de Jong (6/10):

Not as effective without Busquets next to him. Still had some good moments and ensured Barcelona kept the ball.

Raphinha (4/10):

Poor on the day. Looked creative in moments, but was caught offside in a key attack and picked up a silly yellow. Could be sold this summer if the right offer comes in.

Robert Lewandowski (6/10):

Starved for chances, but never stopped running.

Ferran Torres (4/10):

Difficult to see what, exactly, he offers sometimes. No surprise when he was hauled off.

Gavi (6/10):

Introduced at half time to add some much needed bite to midfield.

Ansu Fati (6/10):

Pulled one back to make things nervy late on. Should Barca sell him?

Ousmane Dembele (6/10):

Assisted Fati's goal. Should be first choice.

Inaki Pena (5/10):

His team conceded as soon as he entered the fray, but he could do little about it.

Pablo Torre (N/A)

No time to make an impact.

Xavi (5/10):

Went back to a 4-3-3, and his side looked a lot like a team who had already won the title. The Blaugrana created a few chances, but were poor at the back. Xavi shuffled things throughout the second half, but could not salvage anything from the game.
