La Liga Table 2018: Sunday's Week 37 Results and Updated Standings

Emmanuel Boateng scored a hat-trick as Levante stunningly ended Barcelona's bid to finish this La Liga season unbeaten. The champions came unstuck at Estadi Ciutat de Valencia on Sunday, losing 5-4 to the side 15th in the table.

Enis Bardhi added a brace for the home side, while a Philippe Coutinho hat-trick and Luis Suarez penalty wasn't enough to keep the champions' run going.

Barca missed the influence of star forward Lionel Messi, who was rested, seemingly ahead of a friendly in South Africa. Even so, the manner of the defeat, even after a 43-match unbeaten run, is bound to raise uncomfortable questions about the league and Copa del Rey double winners.
