Barça bids farewell to the season with a blank and cruel ending against Cartagena.

It was an all-or-nothing game for Tino Pérez's Barça . A match that had to end with a victory for Barça to avoid finishing the season without a title. The Blaugrana responded brilliantly for almost the entire match, except in the final seconds, when Jimbee Cartagena overturned Barça's 2-1 deficit to shatter any hopes of playing the final match of the league title playoff at the Palau Blaugrana. This was Sergio Lozano's final match as a professional player and Dyego's final match in the Blaugrana shirt. Jimbee Cartagena, fifth in the regular season, repeated last year's domestic double with the Spanish Super Cup and La Liga . The Cartagena team, which had not won a title in its history, has won four in the last two seasons and will compete in the next edition of the Champions League alongside Palma Futsal.

The match started well for the Catalans after Mouhoudine fouled Pito, following a magnificent piece of play by the Brazilian, repeatedly feinting the Frenchman. Antonio took the free kick in the sixth minute, firing a direct shot between the wall and the right post of Chemi's goal, resulting in the first goal of the match. Jimbee Cartagena responded shortly after with another free kick off Motta's boots, which Dídac Plana saved brilliantly.

A scuffle between Erick Mendonça and Waltinho inside the box, when the Brazilian center was ahead of the Portuguese defender, led the referees to award a penalty just a minute after Barça took the lead. Despite the Barça bench requesting that the referees review the matter via video review, the referees remained in their opinion after consulting the monitor, and the penalty was taken, with Waltinho himself converting it with a decisive shot past Dídac.

After a few minutes of testing the ball and no clear chances, a direct pass from Chemi to Mellado, who brilliantly passed it to Cortés, forced Dídac to intervene to prevent the 2-1 lead. The home side's clearest chance before the break fell to Osamanmusa with seven minutes left in the break. A brilliant run by Cortés, which left Pito on the ground, ended with a pass to Mouhoudine, and the Frenchman laid the goal on a plate for the Thai center, who incomprehensibly missed the ball alone at the far post. Seconds later, the Asian player for the Cartagena team was shown a yellow card for simulating a penalty by diving to the ground after noticing Sergio González's handball on him.

Dídac Plana appeared at a crucial moment with a tremendous right foot to stop Motta's shot, who capitalized on a mistake by Dyego, losing the ball when he was the last player. It was ultimately Barça who made a statement before the break, thanks to Antonio's goal at the far post after Adolfo managed to thread a fine pass with his left foot.

Barça started the second half better. The Blaugrana could have increased their lead with a chip from Dyego that Chemi read well, and another chance from Erick that went wide after a great diagonal pass from Eric Martel.

With six minutes remaining, Duda opted to bring on Motta, wearing the player-goalkeeper jersey, aware of the importance of securing the league title in front of his home crowd. Tomaz's first chance fell to him after some good circulation from the Cartagena team, but the ball went wide. The Brazilian coach called a timeout with three and a half minutes remaining to encourage his players to calm down in their five-man attack, a request that was not honored due to the excellent defense of Jimbee's player-goalkeeper attack by Adolfo, Erick, Dyego, and Antonio.

But the home side were able to hurt Barça in a move where the Catalans were unable to make substitutions in attack or defense. A tremendous individual effort by Cortés sparked the Cartagena side's momentum thanks to Waltinho's left-footed goal after an assist from the skillful Almería player. The Murcia side completed the feat with a set piece, just as Duda likes best. Tomaz's corner ended with a slashed left-footed volley from Cortés, which Pablo Ramírez converted at the far post. Joy filled the Palacio de los Deportes in Murcia with the goal from the Malaga native 15 seconds from the final whistle, which ultimately gave them the league title.

Barça bids farewell to the 2024/25 season without a title and without a ticket to next season's Champions League, a season in which they have had to deal with numerous injuries that have hampered the team physically, as goalkeeper Dídac Plana acknowledged after the match.
