JAKARTA – Barcelona ended the Spanish La Liga season with less fun. They have to accept defeat at home to Villarreal.

The Blaugrana suffered two goals without reply at the Camp Nou, on Monday, May 23 in the morning WIB. The result saw the Catalan club finish with the lowest points total in the league after 14 years.

Losing three points in the last game of the season made Barcelona only collect a total of 73 points. They finished second after being 13 points adrift of champions Real Madrid.

The last time the Blaugrana got the lowest total points was in the 2007/2008 season. At that time they ended the season in third place with a collection of 67 points.

In the match against Villarreal this morning, Barcelona were left behind by Alfonso Pedraza's goal four minutes before normal time.

It was the fourth time this season they have fallen behind at half-time in the league or their worst run in a single season in the competition since 2003/2004.

The visitors then extended their lead ten minutes after the break with Moi Gomez's goal.

Barcelona's journey at home this season is also satisfying. In total they suffered four defeats in 18 home matches in La Liga.

It was their most defeat at home in a season since 2002/2003. The most defeats at home that Barcelona have ever felt occurred in the 1986/1987 season, which was seven times.
