Accidents with leaving in the Champions League group phase at this time made them more focused on looking for opportunities in the struggle for trophies in the domestic league.
It is now certain that La Liga will also be theirs after the Supercopa trophy. In addition, at this time the Copa del Rey also they have a big chance there. What's more important than this is that Xavi is really successful for his second season this time around.
Should Xavi scoop up those two trophies then it will be a big boost for him after a disappointing season in Europe elite competition. In the Copa Del Rey second leg against Madrid I think Madrid will do everything to eliminate Barcelona just to have there hand on a domestic trophy.
