MADRID, May 20 -- FC Barcelona ended their double winning season and said goodbye to veteran midfielder Andres Iniesta with a 1-0 win over Real Sociedad on Sunday night.
Philippe Coutinho, who was signed to replace the 34-year-old, scored the only goal of the game ahead of the ceremony which saw Barcelona presented with the La Liga title and an emotional Iniesta make his goodbye speech in which he thanked everyone for their "respect and affection."
"All I can say is that I will have you in my hearts forever," Iniesta said.
Fernando Torres was another player saying goodbye and he scored twice in his last game in Spain as he finishes his time with Atletico Madrid on an emotional evening in the Wanda Metropolitano stadium.
Torres' goals were not enough to give Atletico the win as Eibar managed a respectable 2-2 draw thanks to goals from Kike Garcia and Ruben Garcia.
Valencia ended a season which has seen them finish fourth on the table with a 2-1 win against Deportivo la Coruna with goals from Simone Zaza and Goncalo Guedes.
Athletic Club Bilbao coach Kuko Ziganda did not enjoy such a happy goodbye, however as his last game in charge ended in a 1-0 home defeat to Espanyol which just about summed up his season in charge in San Mames.
Real Madrid on Saturday warmed up for next weekend's Champions League final as they showed both sides of their game with a 2-2 draw away to Villarreal.
