In fact, the current coach of Barcelona, Xavi, has to be praised. I think if Xavi had not joined the Barcelona team, this team would not have regained its performance. Now as a coach, I think the players should fulfill their responsibility to ensure Xavi's dream of La Liga title.

It must be appreciated indeed that Xavi is able to improve Barcelona's performance slowly and it hasn't fully returned to the way Barcelona used to be and even all of that requires a long process.
Barcelona is now almost certain to get the La Liga title, but if you look at Barcelona's overall performance, it is still very disappointing, especially on the European stage, there is not much that Barcelona can do when they are unable to qualify from the UCL group and lose in the Europa League.
The matter of being able to get the La Liga title this season is inseparable from the lack of meaningful competition from rivals so that Barcelona is very comfortable at the top of the standings without any pressure from other teams.

Yes Xavi Hernandez deserves appreciation for his hard work in building Barcelona because he is slowly finding his playing form again. He was given a difficult task, taking over at a time when Barcelona were struggling and with their financial situation making the job even more difficult. He cannot freely recruit the players he needs because of financial constraints, if he wants to get the players he wants, then he has to sacrifice one of the players who has a high selling value in order to get money first. I think the La Liga title is enough for Barcelona at the moment, because to get a more prestigious title like the Champions League it seems they are still not ready.

There is an interesting game between Valladolid and Sevilla as well this evening. This is an important game for both sides actually. Because while Valladolid are trying to not get in the relegation zone Sevilla are in the fight for the 7th position mathematically. The point gap between Sevilla and Girona is only 4 now but there are 3 teams between as well so Sevilla's job is still quite difficult.

Besides they are going to play the rematch against Juventus in Spain four days later as well. Therefore maybe Mendilibar might not want to risk some of their crucial players here. I think both teams to score and Valladolid's double chance are options to think of. I don't feel like Valladolid will lose this home.

This is the final game for Sevilla before they battle to face Juventus in the Europa League semi-final second leg. Victory is important for Sevilla because it will increase their morale even more, we know that Juventus are the main favorites in the match they will play in the next 4 days. They were lucky because in the first leg played at Juventus headquarters they were able to hold on to a 1-1 draw, and that made them more profitable in this second leg match.

Sevilla will win today's match for sure. Because the opposition team is far below Sevilla in terms of performance. However, Sevilla's defense must play with great responsibility so that the opposition's attack cannot create any opportunities.
