Jornada 64: Griezmann in Tears, Villarreal Humiliate Atlético and the €2.5M Jackpot Stays Intact

11 home wins, no 15-match perfect score, and the worst first half of the Simeone era in 800 matches. The final matchday of the season was brutal.

The final matchday of the 2025-26 LaLiga season was a genuine earthquake of football and emotion. Eleven home wins, two draws and two away victories produced a coupon that no quinielista could crack. The result? The accumulated jackpot remains intact and now stands at €2,492,804. But what we'll remember about Jornada 64 isn't the prize money — it's the history written on the pitch.

Villarreal 5-1 Atlético: The Thrashing of the Century at La Cerámica

If there was one result nobody saw coming on the final matchday, it was exactly this one. Villarreal demolished Atlético de Madrid 5-1 at La Cerámica, securing third place and leaving the rojiblancos in fourth. But the scoreline alone doesn't capture the magnitude of what happened: for the first time in 800 matches as Atlético's manager, Diego Simeone watched his side concede four goals in a single first half. Eight hundred matches without it happening. And today it did.

The minutes were relentless. Dani Parejo opened the scoring from the penalty spot in the 29th minute, in what would be his final goal in a yellow shirt. Four minutes later, Ayoze Pérez made it 2-0 with a textbook counter-attack. Mikautadze all but settled the tie psychologically in the 40th minute, and Gueye sealed it at 4-1 right on the stroke of half time. Simeone made three changes at the break — Ruggeri, Puric and Sorloth came on in a bid to stem the bleeding. It didn't work. Ayoze struck again in the 54th minute to make it a final 5-1.

Griezmann's Farewell: 212 Goals, 100 Assists and an Apology in Tears

But the drama of the day wasn't only in the scorelines. Antoine Griezmann, Atlético de Madrid's all-time leading scorer with 212 goals and 100 assists in 500 appearances, was saying goodbye to European football. The 35-year-old Frenchman's destination is Orlando City in MLS, and his departure had been preceded by a ceremony at the Metropolitano the previous week that moved even rival supporters to tears.

Fate had a cruel twist in store: his final match ended in a humiliating rout. Villarreal made no allowances for the legend, and Griezmann had to endure a 5-1 defeat in the last game of his European career. The farewell of one of the greatest players in rojiblanco history could not have been more bittersweet. 212 goals. 100 assists. And a 5-1 defeat on the way out the door.

Valencia 3-1 Barça: Flick Admits the Mistake and Lewandowski Says Goodbye

At Mestalla, the league champions suffered another humiliation. Barcelona, already crowned with 94 points weeks earlier, lost 3-1 to a Valencia side that needed the three points to keep their European dreams alive. Robert Lewandowski scored the only blaugrana goal in the 60th minute, in what was possibly his last appearance in a Barça shirt. But Valencia gave no quarter: Javi Guerra equalised five minutes later, Luis Rioja put them 2-1 up and Guido Rodríguez sealed the 3-1 in added time.

Valencia, despite the win, failed to secure the European place they had been chasing. But they did end the season by beating the champions, and in football, that always counts for something.

Real Madrid 4-2 Athletic: Mbappé Top Scorer for the Second Year Running

At the Santiago Bernabéu, Madrid beat Athletic 4-2 on a night full of emotion and farewells. Gonzalo García (12'), Jude Bellingham (41'), Kylian Mbappé (51') and Brahim Díaz (88') scored for the home side, with Guruzeta and Izeta replying for the Basques. Mbappé, with 29 goals, is crowned LaLiga's top scorer for the second consecutive season, five clear of Lewandowski.

The evening at the Bernabéu also had a strong emotional dimension with a tribute to Dani Carvajal and David Alaba, who received a standing ovation from 80,000 spectators in what could be their final appearances in a white shirt.

Final Standings: Champions League, Europa League and Conference League Settled

With the final whistle of matchday 38, the table was definitively closed. Barcelona (94 points) and Real Madrid (84) had their Champions League spots secured weeks ago. But the battle between Villarreal and Atlético for third place went to the very last moment: both sides finished on 69 points, but Villarreal's 5-1 victory meant the head-to-head record favoured the Castellón club, handing them third place. Atlético finished fourth. Betis (5th) and Celta (6th) go into the Europa League. Getafe and Valencia settle for the Conference League.

La Quiniela: The €2.5 Million Jackpot Keeps Rolling

For quinielistas, Jornada 64 was a real hammering. A coupon with 11 home wins, two draws and two away results is extremely hard to get right, and the numbers prove it: not a single player correctly predicted all 15 results. The accumulated jackpot of €2,492,804.75 remains intact. The prize breakdown was as follows: 29 quinielistas got 13 correct and will share €10,293 each; 421 people got 12 right and receive €709; and 4,560 players with 11 correct receive €65.46. The Elige8 had 55 winners at €1,067.64 per head.
