Barcelona said goodbye to Camp Nou in style as they defeated Real Mallorca easily thanks to a double from Ansu Fati.
In their final game at Camp Nou, LaLiga winners Barcelona defeated Real Mallorca 3-0 thanks to a spectacular first-half double from Ansu Fati.
With an easy victory over their opponents' 10-man visitors on Sunday, the Blaugrana said goodbye to their illustrious stadium in fine fashion. Gavi also scored.
Xavi's team made sure they said goodbye to their historic home stadium in style during their final home game there before making a temporary shift to allow for a protracted restoration.
It also represented a stunning comeback from defeats to Real Sociedad and Real Valladolid.
After a deft Robert Lewandowski pass into the box, Fati tucked away a Gavi cutback as Barca quickly dismantled their opponents.
Amath Ndiaye's horrific foul on Alejandro Balde quickly led to Amath's yellow card being changed to a red and Mallorca's situation getting worse.
After that, Fati doubled his total thanks to a close-range rocket off Lewandowski's brilliant one-touch setup, and Barca never seemed to lose the initiative again.
Even though Mallorca dug in, they were still under attack, and shortly after the restart, Jules Kounde hit the crossbar with a header.
Lewandowski again hit the crossbar with a free-kick, but Gavi beat Dominik Greif with a low finish to give Barcelona their third.
On their final home games, Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets received standing ovations from the Camp Nou crowd, who stood to honor the club legends.
Barcelona's home field has been associated with their success and position on the international stage ever since it became the club's residence in 1957.
It is appropriate that they have left the stadium in its existing configuration with another championship this season in addition to giving a nearly faultless final performance.
With 35 goals scored and only five given up in their last 11 LaLiga victories over Mallorca, Barca has their best winning streak over them in the league.
