LaLiga: Guido Rodríguez stunner as Valencia beat champions Barcelona | OneFootball

Valencia’s season finale was pure emotion. At Mestalla, against champions Barcelona, Carlos Corberán’s team turned the match around in just 5 minutes and ended up winning 3-1 thanks to a true screamer from Guido Rodríguez, who struck in stoppage time on the final matchday of LaLiga 2025/26.

When the game was already dying out and Barcelona were pushing to pull one back again, the World Cup-winning midfielder won the ball back in the opposition half and didn’t hesitate. From outside the box, he unleashed a powerful low right-footed shot that flew in just inside Wojciech Szczęsny’s left post, with the goalkeeper unable to do anything to prevent the final 3-1. It was the 97th minute, and it put the finishing touch on an unforgettable win for Valencia, who managed to overturn the score against the LaLiga champions in a devastating burst.

Beyond the importance of the goal against Barcelona, the end of the campaign left a very positive stat for Guido Rodríguez. The Argentine midfielder reached four goals in just 16 appearances, making it his highest-scoring season since arriving in European football in January 2020.

The Argentine had already scored a brace against Celta on matchday 30 and then found the net again against Real Sociedad on matchday 37. Now, he closed the season with another superb goal against the Spanish champions and reached a milestone he had never achieved before in Europe, as he had never scored four goals in a single season.

Meanwhile, Poland’s Robert Lewandowski said goodbye to Barça with a goal in LaLiga’s finale. The champions lost 3-1 at Mestalla to Valencia, who finished 9th, outside the European qualification spots.
