As the 2025\/26 La Liga season concludes on Matchday 38, Valencia host newly crowned champions Barcelona at the iconic Mestalla Stadium on May 23\/24, 2026 (kick-off 12:30 AM IST). Barcelona have already secured the title with 94 points, but they will aim to end the campaign on a high with a strong away performance.<\/p>\n
Valencia sit around mid-table (9th with 46 points) and will look to spoil the party, relying on their home support and counter-attacking threats. Historically, Barcelona dominate this fixture, winning 92 of 181 La Liga meetings, though Valencia have shown resilience at home in the past.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Where to Watch<\/b>: In India, the match will be available live on FanCode and DAZN.

Garc\u00eda, Balde; Gavi, Pedri; Raphinha, Olmo, Rashford; Lewandowski. Key players like Lewandowski and Raphinha are expected to shine in Hansi Flick\u2019s setup.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Barcelona\u2019s superior squad depth and attacking quality should prevail, but Valencia could nick a goal on the break.
