Deportivo La Coruna escaped relegation by the skin of their teeth after drawing 2-2 with Barcelona at
Camp Nou on Sunday.
In what was Xavi's final outing as a Barca player, Lionel Messi stole the show for the opening hour and gave the home side the lead after just five minutes.
The Argentina ace doubled his tally for the day with his 56th goal of the season across all competitions - a tap-in just shy of the hour mark
putting the visitors on course for relegation.
However, Lucas Perez's 67th-minute strike gave Deportivo hope and they continued to battle away in the hope of pulling off a great escape.
Diogo Salomao then lashed home an equaliser with 14 minutes to go, sparking scenes of jubilation on
the bench as Victor Sanchez's men secured their top-flight status at the expense of Eibar and Almeria - who also finished on 35 points.
Xavi was unsurprisingly the centre of attention before kick-off, as the Barca fans held aloft a huge banner in tribute to the legendary midfielder.
